The expert said that Russia could remove from storage light infantry tanks produced back in 1931.
In the war against Ukraine, Russia can use tanks of the 30s - T-26, which are stored in Buryatia.
Military expert Oleg Zhdanov spoke about this on his YouTube channel.
The expert noted that his subscriber, apparently from the Russian Federation, told how he served in Buryatia in 2013 and saw T-26s in storage. "So the rarity is still ahead," he wrote.
"Let me remind you something. The T-26 tank is a tank of the 30s. I thought that these 28.5 thousand tanks that are in storage in the Russian Federation, they start at least with 34. I suspected that perhaps there is a KV-1, KV-2, perhaps there is an IS-1, IS-2 - these are heavy tanks. But it turned out that in Buryatia, as the subscriber says, there are T-26s. The T-26 is a light infantry a tank, it is gasoline, it has a four-cylinder single-row carburetor engine. That is, it worked on gasoline. It was produced from the age of 31 and was the most massive in its class. More than 11 thousand of these tanks were produced. A gun - 37 millimeters, he has a machine gun, in my opinion - 7.62. Such a tank. If they remove them from storage, then we will see these tanks on the battlefield," Zhdanov said.
