Very interesting, Vici, thank you for compiling and posting the data. A few questions: 1. How many tanks are in a tank battalion? Does the 114 Tank Battalion/1st Infantry Division include (only) T 55, A version? What about the other tank battalions listed vith a combination of T 55 and T 55 AM? 2. It seems like 2nd Mountain Brigade/1st Infantry Division doesn't use MLVM (but has a support units of artillery - is that M-30M 122 mm a mountain gun?), and that both mountain brigades (the 2nd and the 61st) are devoid of mountain guns (Romanian 76 mm model 1982; but was there a latter model of Romanian 100 mm mountain howitzer also?). Is that correct? 3. The non-upgraded MLI 84 is not in active service anymore? Thank you! |

1. There are 56 tanks in a battalion. Apparently, the unit at Turda uses only T-55AM, the one at Murfatlar mostly A and a few AM, the 114 at Targoviste seems to have only A. This is based only on public photographic evidence, so it may be wrong.
2. I don't know if they use MLVM or not. Again, all I wrote is based on photographic evidence. M30M is the old WW2 Model 1938 Soviet howitzer, it's not a mountain gun. According to UN data, 168 Model 1995 98mm mountain guns and 127 Model 1982 76 mm guns exist, but they are in storage; only the Marines use a small number of 76mm guns. Mountain troops artillery (except for bat. 206) consists of dismounted 82 and 120 mm mortars and SPG-9 recoilless rifles - based on photos from the last decade. 3. The non upgraded MLI-84 is not in service. I have a hard time tracking even the upgraded ones - 99 were built for three battalions with 33 each, but it seems only two are using it: the 282 in Focsani and 300 in Galati |

Thank you very much for your answer, Vici! A few observations:
1. Keeping in use the T 55 A (even for training puropses) is a very bad option, a measure of the lack of preocupation and competence of some decisional factors in the Romanian military. As far as I know, there still are ~30 Romanian T 72 in storage, plus a lot of T 72 on sales in the neighbouring countries (some even - as far as I know - being delivered as "military aid" for the new national armies of Iraq and Afghanistan). Not to mention the fact that, according to some informal sources, some AM for the tank units disbanded during 1990 - early 2000 were dismembered. A model like T 55 A could have been a wise choice in the '60s, but certainly not in a more recent timeframe. Also, from the information I have there are some couple of hundreds T 85 (the basic model) in reserve, why aren't some of them brought back into service? 2. The same argument concerning the two types of mountain guns. They could add some additional firepower to that units. 3. I was asking that because, in late 1990s, some non-upgraded MLIs could be seen in a infantry unit in Someseni, near Cluj. Also, I'm pretty sure that I've seen some (relatively recent) photos with infantry troops dismounting from a basic MLI - perhaps on the MApN site, or in some MApN-published magazine... Edit: I was referring to this photo, but I cannot find the source: http://rumaniamilitary.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/20.jpg This post has been edited by Agarici on January 17, 2015 04:08 pm |

Regarding ooB of RoA,have you seen this :
v Din păcate începem anul 2015 cu confirmare a ceea ce noi pe acest site am susţinut tot timpul: Armata Română, în speţă Forţele Aeriene, nu mai are de ceva timp capacitate de lupta, nemaiputând să-şi execute nici măcar misiunile pe timp de pace, ce să mai vorbim de, ferească Dumnezeu, vreo situaţie de lupta reală. Subfinanţarea criminală – la care Armata a fost supusă ani la rând de către tomberonezii care au condus această ţară (începând cu Tăriceanu, Băsescu, Boc şi acum Ponta) - plus aducerea la conducerea MApN a unor oameni cu totul incapabili să conducă măcar un mic SRL a făcut că astăzi Forţele Aeriene să fie practic doar o instituţie aproape decorativă. Bineînţeles că nici Forţele Navale nu stau mai bine, de fapt dintre cele trei categorii de forţe stau cel mai rău, neavând practic nave de lupta, în timp ce Forţele Terestre, unde dezastrul este ceva mai uşor de ascuns, se târâie de la un an la altul cu o tehnică de lupta care pur şi simplu nu ar mai trebui scoasă din cazarmă… şi pe care în curând nici nu vor mai reuşi să o mişte. Dar în primul rând, dorim să-i felicităm pe cei doi ofiţeri – Lt.drd. Diana MANOLACHE şi Lt.cdor. Crăciun-Ciprian CHIŞ – pentru că îşi onorează uniformă pe care o poartă, pentru corectitudinea, curajul şi seriozitatea analizei efectuate şi salutăm faptul că în sfârşit ofiţeri activi au ieşit în faţă şi au făcut public dezastrul. Onoare lor! Şi poate dacă astfel de oameni ar fi promovaţi în funcţii de conducere starea Armatei ar fi altă! Bineninteles că actualul minstru, Mircea Dusă, a fost prins din nou cu minciună, tomberozul susţinând pe oriunde poate că Forţele Aeriene sunt perfect capabile să-şi execute misiunile, un lucru mincinos şi manipulativ, greţos chiar. Tehnic vorbind acest raport spune că dacă în 2015 alocările pentru MApN vor rămâne la stadiul de 1.31% din PIB, atât cât este acum în proiectul de buget, se vor întâmplă următoarele: Pe timp de Pace 1. Serviciul de Lupta Poliţie Aeriană sub comandă NATO se execută în zona de risc ridicat şi sub nivelul standardelor NATINAMDS, pentru încă un an (al şaselea consecutiv). Nu se asigura menţinerea nivelului de antrenament al personalului, cu riscul de a nu mai avea piloţi pregătiţi să execute serviciul de lupta în toate condiţiile. Continuarea instrucţiei sub standard (la un nivel actual de 50-60 ore de zbor/an/pilot), cu tehnică de lupta învechită şi alocaţii bugetare insuficiente pentru susţinerea mentenantei şi suportului logistic a misiunilor, are implicaţii grave asupra suveranităţii în spaţiul aerian naţional şi nu mai permite controlul stării de siguranţă aeronautică; (aşadar şi faptul că România îşi asigura serviciul de Poliţie Aeriană este tot o MINCIUNĂ!) 2. Serviciul de Lupta Poliţie Aeriană sub comandă naţională, prin rotaţie, cu câte un batalion de rachete sol-aer din compunerea brigăzii de rachete sol-aer se poate execută limitat, în condiţiile insuficienţei suportului logistic, lipsei carburantului special (oxidant) şi epuizării resursei tehnice a rachetelor; 3. Serviciul de Lupta Căutare-Salvare, inclusiv Serviciul Medical Militar de Urgenţă – se poate execută numai pe timp de zi. Continuarea instrucţiei personalului navigant sub standardele cerute (într-un ritm de 10-20 de ore de zbor/an/pilot), asigura doar menţinerea în bareme, nu şi pregătirea tactică şi antrenamentul necesar executării misiunilor în orice condiţii; (unul din motivele pentru care mai dau cu elicopterele de pământ) 4. celelalte servicii de lupta (supraveghere electronică, comunicaţii şi informatică, supraveghere CBRN, intervenţie EOD etc.) se execută cu limitări, determinate de starea echipamentelor, nivelul tehnologic al acestora, deficitele de dotare şi neasigurarea resurselor pentru mentenanţă şi reparaţii; 5. supravegherea spaţiului aerian şi avertizarea timpurie se asigura cu potenţial limitat, în condiţiile posibilităţilor reduse de menţinere a parametrilor de descoperire a radarelor FPS-117 şi TPS-79® fără alocarea bugetară necesară susţinerii contractelor de suport logistic prin NSpA (NATO Support Agency); 6. transportul aerian strategic se poate execută în limita a opt curse, acoperindu-se nevoile pentru teatrele de operaţii, conform documentelor şi înţelegerilor naţionale şi internaţionale; 7. nu se asigura menţinerea operaţionalizării anumitor capabilităţi, cum ar fi: CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue) şi HTM (elicoptere de transport) 8. nu se poate realiza capacitatea operaţională finală pentru detaşamentul de opt elicoptere de transport NATO, destinat asigurării contribuţiei la NRF 2016 (NATO Reaction Force); 9. nu se poate asigura iniţierea operaţionalizării unor detaşamente formate din elicoptere şi avioane pentru sprijinul Forţelor pentru Operaţii Speciale capacitatea de asigurare a zborurilor speciale, umanitare şi pentru misiuni de intervenţie se va reduce semnificativ, din cauza insuficienţei alocaţiilor bugetare pentru susţinerea mentenantei şi suportului logistic a misiunilor, corespunzător standardelor de siguranţă aeronautică; 0. nu se pot execută zboruri de antrenament pentru exerciţiile trageri sol-aer simulate în poziţiile de baza/poligonul Capul Midia şi nu se poate asigura 1. resursă de aviaţie pentru îndeplinirea planului de cooperare cu celelalte categorii de forţe ale armatei, inclusiv sprijinul forţelor de operaţii speciale; 2. nu se poate realiza instruirea personalului navigant şi a controlorilor de zbor în poziţii înaintate pentru misiuni aer-sol. În caz de război: 1. apărarea aeriană cu aviaţia de vânătoare şi rachetele sol-aer se poate execută numai pe durata a 1-2 zile; 2. nu se asigura apărarea aeriană a aerodromurilor militare, acoperirea aeriană a dispozitivului operativ al forţelor terestre/forţelor navale, precum şi a obiectivelor strategice naţionale; 3. nu se pot execută misiuni de interdicţie aeriană şi sprijin aerian nemijlocit cu avioanele de lupta 4. asigurarea forţelor pentru misiuni de intervenţie la criză teroristă (avioane şi elicoptere) şi pentru descurajare şi reacţie în sprijinul grupării de forţe de nivel brigada întărită/Forţe Terestre, se poate realiza din starea în care se află, în condiţii de disponibilitate limitată a elicopterelor şi nivel de antrenament redus a piloţilor/echipajelor; 5. nu se asigura îndeplinirea angajamentelor României privind participarea cu forţe la operaţii NATO/UE. 6. Cerinţele de mentenanţă, reparaţii şi suport logistic a misiunilor se asigura la un nivel extrem de redus faţă de necesităţi (circa 13%). Sursă: Buletinul Universităţii Naţionale de Apărare „Carol I“ Autori: Lt.drd. Diana MANOLACHE Lt.cdor. Crăciun-Ciprian CHIŞ În acelaşi Buletin cei doi ofiţeri fac şi o evaluare a ceea ce ar însemna dacă bugetul MApN ar fi pentru 2015 la nivelul de 1,7% din PIB. Ar fi numai lucruri bune şi o rază de speranţa, din păcate se aşteaptă încă OK-ul UE pentru cei 0.4% în plus şi deocamdată bugetul Armatei este de 1.31% din PIB. Problema este următoarea: eu nu cred că actualul guvern chiar doreşte o alocare de 1,71% şi o lălăie aşa până când Parlamentul va aprobă Legea Bugetului pe 2015 în formă actuală. Mai apoi – după aprobarea celor 0,4% în plus pentru apărare – vom aştepta până în vara la prima rectificare, dar după experienţă din 2014, când sumele “rectificate” oficial au ajuns într-o proporţie de sub 10% la Armata ne vom trezi că banii au fost “alocaţi” dar nu vor ajunge deloc în buget. În 2014 s-au alocat suplimentar, pe hârtie, peste 900 de milioane de lei: într-o prima tranşă 700 de milioane apoi încă ceva, doar că aceşti bani NU au ajuns la Armata fiind ţinuţi în fondul de rezervă al guvernului acolo unde au şi rămas, o foarte mică parte ajungând până la urmă pentru repararea câtorva tancuri şi trasportoare blindate şi cam atât, banii fiind transferaţi în principal spre sfârşitul anului şi obligând industria să muncească în contratimp să nu piardă banii odată cu încheierea anului fiscal… Din păcate Armata Română că forţă luptătoare, pe timp de pace sau de război, nu prea există: nu avem minimul de tehnică de lupta, nu avem avioane sau elicoptere, nu mai avem rachete AA, radarele au început să cedeze – în lipsa pieselor de schimb, piloţii zboară doar atât cât să nu cadă cu avioanele (pentru că 50-60 de ore zboară doar cei care fac poliţie aeriană, restul dacă prind 20 de ore sunt norocoşi), servicul MEDEVAC nu poate zbura decât pe timp de zi – în lipsa antrenamentului pentru condiţii grele meteo, etc, etc. Mircea Dusă minte cu neruşinare când se spune că Armata îşi poate execută misiunile şi toţi politicienii sunt de fapt apţi pentru puşcărie pentru distrugerea cu voinţă şi din prostie a capacităţii militare a Armatei Române. O ultima veste, nu ştiu dacă este bună sau proastă. Încă de acum doi trecerile pe MIG 21 Lancer au fost sistate în aşteptarea F 16. Ei bine în 2015 trecerea pe Lancer va fi reluată, iar acest lucru ne spulberă orice speranţa în achiziţionarea în următorii ani a încă unei escadrile de F 16, pentru că dacă acest lucru era luat în calcul în următorii 3-4-5 ani se făceau treceri pe F 16. Astfel că deocamdată zvonurile cum că s-ar pregăti încă 1-2 escadrile de F 16 sunt simple manipulări, menite să adoarmă corul de „Huo!” al celor care ştiu că 12 avioane sunt doar o glumă proastă. Cel mai probbail vom rămâne cu 1,31% din PIB, iar o eventuală rectificare va fi la fel de falsă cum au fost şi cele 2 sau 3 din 2014. Trebuie să înţelegem că Armata Română nu mai poate să asigure nici măcar un minim de protecţie şi pe mai departe TREBUIE să acţionăm în consecinţă sau să acceptăm că nu mai avem armata… În privinţa posibilităţii că totuşi bugetul MApN pe 2015 să fie în cele din urmă la nivelul de 1,7% din PIB, optimismul autorilor articolului nu îmi este deloc explicabil. Mai pe româneşte chiar dacă Armata va primi 1,7% din PIB nu-mi este foarte clar de unde va putea să finanţeze toate cele cuprinse în studiu şi din acest motiv prefer să nu comentez deloc varianta “fericită”, tocmai pentru că şi la 1.7% tot nasol va fi în principl datorită moştenirii şi decapitalizării – la nivel de resurse – prin care Armata trece de foarte mulţi ani. Singură şansă de mai bine este alocarea multianuală pe proiecte clare şi asumate de către guvern că şi finanţarea din fonduri diferite de bugetul MApN pentru achiziţiile majore: rachetele cu rază lungă (dar şi medie şi scurtă), nave de lupta, avioane de lupta, TAB-uri sau maşini 4×4 blindate şi neblindate. Până când aceste lucruri nu vor fi legiferate nu avem şanse prea mari pentru o dotare seriosă chiar dacă într-un târziu dezideratul celor 2% va fi atins… PS Îmi pare rău că va stric începutul de an, dar până la urmă adevărul este cel mai bun remediu pentru orice boală, iar minciună – mai ales cea a înalţilor oficiali – este o bolala extrem de periculoasă, mortală chiar! sursa: rumaniamilitary.ro PS We where tought in oficer school that a tank batalion has 18 tanks and a regiment 56,but ,probably things changed since then. |

Agarici, I fully agree with what you wrote. Idiocy is a very prized "quality" for our Army leaders and politicians.
Yes, some T-55AM were scrapped, while some units still use T-55A, here an image of an AM in a scrapyard: http://www.ziaruldevrancea.ro/actualitatea...in-focsani.html An article in the old Top Gun magazine from 1999 stated that there is a total of 315 TR-85 tanks available. With 56 upgraded to M1 Bison standard, another 56 non upgraded in service at Bacau, and 5 transformed into DMT-85M1, that leaves 198 tanks stored. That is, if they didn't scrap these too !!! My guess is they don't use them because they are not reliable, the engine and transmission leaks and breaks all the time because of a few faulty gaskets and O-rings which could not be manufactured at the right specifications in country. When they were built in the late 80's Ceausescu forbid any imports. regarding that MLI-84 photo, I also have it on my computer, downloaded in 2008. I suppose it was taken a few years before that. The vehicles stored at Cluj, are you sure they are MLI? I never heard of the type being deployed in Transilvania after 1989. They could also be MLVM? |

I think your explanation about not using the basic TR 85s because they are mechanical unreliable is valid, but even so (and strangely enough) they do equip one unit. If not scrapped, there is at least a theoretical possibility to upgrade at least some of them in the folowing years to the M 1 standard. This however does not justify the stupidity/incompetence to scrap T 55 AM and to use the A model. About the MLI’s from Someseni, I’m pretty sure they were there. They were in the streets of Cluj in December 1989, and were seen by me in 1996-1997, when I did my (then compulsory) military service in a nearby unit. I remember their ”big” (73 mm I think) gun, so I’d say they weren’t MLVMs; also, there were no mountain units in the area. Off-topic question: As far as I know, the T 55 AM in use with other armies (and the T 85 from the Military Museum in Buchaerst - please correct me if I’m wrong) has both added ”horse-shoe” armor and smoke-grenade launchers on the turret. But apparently neither models in use in the Romanian military (before and after 1989) does not spot them, and I’m referring to various photos with tanks during the Romanian Revolution, Targu-Mures 1990 and at maneuvers. Is there any reason for that, or different (sub)specifications in the models? |

I don't understand your question about the AM.
Romania ordered in 1969 and imported 850 T-55A and K(command version of the A) between 1970-1977 from the USSR In 1984 we acquired from the USSR the license to upgrade to AM standard. The upgrade was done on some - not all - of the tanks between 1985-89. It is unknown how many upgrade examples were contracted, and how many were done. All the T-55s which were upgraded to AM standard have the horseshoe armor (Brezhnev's eyebrows) and the smoke grenades launcher. What is different between them is the FCS. Some have the Volna FCS and a Soviet laser rangefinder - like the one in the Military Museum in Bucharest, and those used by the 814 battalion at Campia Turzii. See: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.7...48195508&type=3 Some had the Kladivo FCS from Czechoslovakia - like the ones scrapped in the link I provided above. And some had the Romanian made Ciclop FCS with a wind sensor. The tanks from the now disbanded regiment at Botosani had that - search cartula.ro for photos. |

Vici, I was asking that because in the photos from 1989-1990 I saw, the T 55 AM's din not spot those smoke grenade launchers (the same thing for the basic TR, even in recent photos), and I was wondering if any of the two models still have the old smoke-making system by injecting oil in the combustion chamber of the engine.
As for the horse-shoe armor, were they designed for the un-upgraded TR, or only for the M 1 version? If I'm right, the TR from the NMM has that added side and frontal armor, but I haven't seen it on any other basic TR. Thank you! |

The basic TR-85 never had smoke grenade launchers, nor additional turret armor. The only ones that have them are the 56 upgraded TR-85M1 Bison and the TR-85M prototype at the museum. Add-on turret armor is different between the prototype M and the serial production upgrade M1.
Don't know if they have the oil injection smoke system. |
