Upgraded? They seems the same old T-72 they had ... The ERA armous is quite old .. It is around from 80's. Very few projects of modernisation actually happend in Russian army and very few where succesfully finished....

Hold on! Why are you so sure about that? Following the link (in a parent directory) you could find this: http://www.armyrecognition.com/Russe/ Also Bulgaria and Slovakia are shown there beside Moldova and few more former Soviet republics (Ukraine, Georgia and so on). |

Ok, now I see, sorry for that. And it seems that it is a T-64. Check this: http://www.armyrecognition.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=70 |

From http://www.azi.md/investigation?ID=12568
In 2001, Transdniestrian "Ministry of Defence" had 18 pieces of T-64. Also, according to http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/9059/Rus...rmedForces.html with last update in March 2005, Russian Army had: Group of Russian Forces in Transdniestria (OGRVP) (Tiraspol, Moldova): 8th Guards Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade (A) (T-64, BMP, BTR, 2S3 Akatsiya, 2S1 Gvozdika, 2S12, BM-21 Grad) (Tiraspol) 1162nd Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment (SA-8) According to http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/wor...grv-moldova.htm Withdrawal of Russian forces from Transnistria is an international obligation of Russia. In November 1999, President Boris Yeltsin signed the agreement on adaptation of the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe Treaty during the OSCE summit in Istanbul. According to this document, Russia undertook an obligation to withdraw its forces from Transnistria by the end of 2002. In a surprise move, Moldovan President Vladimir Voronin decided not to sign a Russian-brokered settlement with Transnistria in November 2003. The appearance of the Russian proposal--seen by many as pro-Transnistrian--was enough to set off a brief wave of opposition protests, reminiscent of 2002 protests against the government's proposals to change language and history education in schools. The potential for continued protest over these contentious issues remains. Russia has not removed the weapons and munitions of the Organized Group of Russian Forces stationed in Transnistria, thus failing to comply with the timetable set forth in the 1999 Istanbul Accords. In 2003 Russia failed to meet its second one-year extension from the original withdrawal date of December 31, 2001. |

In a quite recent article (1st of August, 2005) in "The Moscow Times" it is written:
....Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov accused Moldovan authorities of damaging relations with Russia and warned that Moscow would keep troops in Transdnestr as long as Russian arms and equipment remained there. Maybe it is Russian T-64?? Edited: http://www.themoscowtimes.com/stories/2005/08/01/014.html This post has been edited by Dani on September 27, 2005 11:07 am |

I think those are T-62s or T-64s. The hull seems too short for a T-72 and the turret is too tall, even with new armor.

These tanks are T-64BV. They are Cold War era tanks (around 1985). It's my favourite vehicule!!!!!!! For more information, there is this good site, but it's in German. http://www.t-64.de/

Indeed,
I read somewhere about the price of various types of Russian tanks, and it was written that the T-64BV (main model of the russian army from Transnistria) costs around 536000 USD (prices from 2000 as I remember) versus T-72B who was around 421200 USD. It is important to say that both types were produced from 1984/1985 onwards so those types were contemporary with one another. |

A military parade of Transnistria with display of tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, mortars and MRLS...
http://youtu.be/ky4-K3dKVAc In terms of imaging the parade looks more impressive than that of Moldova organized this summer... The piece of resistance was the T-64BV tanks, which are the same that won the war of 1992 (the Transnistrean War)! But the small but big difference were the numbers : they were over 150 T-64 tanks with the 14th Army back in 1992 now they are only 18 in the hands of Transnistrian Army... The rest were the rest were decommissioned or cut in pieces... |
