In service with the Haftar army, the new T-62 tanks were noticed - they weren’t produced for 45 years.

The active support of the Libyan National Army by countries such as China, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Russia, allow it to successfully confront Turkey and the forces of the Government of National Accord of Libya. Until recently, it was believed that the basis of Haftar’s armored forces were already worn and battered combat vehicles, however, one of the videos recorded completely new T-62 tanks, the production of which had ceased 45 years ago.

“Now the sixty-second seems to be becoming the main. This conclusion can be made by reading the video materials of the LNA information bureau. Last Saturday, Haftar made inspection trips to the locations of his units. He visited one of the units where the armed tanks were presented. In total, you can count twenty cars in the video. Three of them are T-55, sixteen T-62 and only one T-72 "- сообщает Russian information publication “Russian weapons”.

Experts pay attention to the fact that none of the tanks has identification marks, and, moreover, some of the combat vehicles (painted with dark green paint) have clearly already managed to be in battles, while the other part of the combat vehicles (painted in a light shade of green - Ed.) Was clearly removed from storage. Given the fact that only Russia and Egypt have such tanks from Haftar's partner countries, there is a possibility that either of these sides could indeed rearm the Libyan National Army. It is possible that only a part of the new tanks is located on the parade ground, since such a number of armored vehicles is unlikely to be able to change the balance of forces in Libya in favor of Haftar.

It should be clarified that the T-62 tanks have successfully established themselves in Libya, creating a threat to even much more modern combat vehicles.
