Even those old Soviet tanks will be the King of the Battlefield against anything Columbia has. I saw T-54's in Vietnam. I sat in one in the City of Kontum, during the battle in 1972. It had been hit by several LAW rockets, but never burned. The crew abandoned it when they ran out of fuel and ammunition. They wouldn't have stood a chance against our M60A3's, at the time, but then, we didn't have any M60A3s in Vietnam, so the T-54's were quite effective against ARVNs light M-41's.

Russian equipment is nothing to scoff at. Their RPGs have killed more armor than any tank. The AK speaks for itself. We didn't have a better tank until the M1 showed up. It's biggest advantage is the 2.5 mile main gun.
