Intresting Facts about 1980s Soviet Equipment

[Raellus]

AFAIK, the T-64 was never exported so the U.S. did not capture any during Desert Storm. I'm not sure if any have been acquired since. Perhaps one or two were purchased from one of the former Soviet republics for intel purposes? T-72's, on the other hand, were captured by the Israelis in the Lebanon invasion of '82 and I'm sure intel gleened from them was passed along to the U.S. well before we captured our own T-72s during Desert Storm.
