Heavy Armor for Hezbollah
2nd October 2015
The Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah has been promised 75 Soviet-era tanks by the Syrian government. The gift consists of T-55 and T-72 tanks and comes as a thank you for Hezbollah not complaining about the presence of Russian forces in Syria. Apparently more such gifts are forthcoming if Hezbollah works with the Russians against Syrian rebels. Russia deployed a mix of Su-24 and Su-25 ground attack planes, plus four Su-30 fighters since early September.
After all, what could go wrong?

Any bets on how many hours the tanks will last under Hezbollah’s maintenance? Or in close combat against IED-armed terrorists?
