There is a list on Wikipedia. They have a surprising amount of stuff from what I have seen. The black MI-35s are cool.

How many T80u does Cyprus have?? How mechanized is the CNG?

I think we have about 85 of them, but we also have 140 EE-9 Cascavel tanks, and about 100 BMP-3, plus some other I forget.

Do remember seeing a lot of APC etc with flat tyres at some of the better known Bases.Obviously not used often. Remember thinking the traffic in Nicosia would be easier with one. Being lifted up in the bucket of an armoured forklift thing to run cables cos they guys saw us struggling with the skalosies on uneven ground (hilly area) was fun and easier.

Their tires flatten as soon as you turn off the ignition and inflate once again (with special foam) upon turning it on.

Source please..... Cos these where individually flat i.e maybe one on each vehicle.
Most have a central integral inflation system and/or maybe fitted with 'run flat foam' but never heard of this and am interested....

I do believe a few hundred of those were gifts from Greece.

...chatter boxes, if it comes to combat, nothing will be easy, you feel good that there is an army, and yet, here, is the birthplace of guerrillas, and in that, it is not numbers that count.

...indeed, the play will commence with Maritime Law (the most basic), Navies against Navies, and in that the rest of the Occidental world seems to be gearing-up, thanks to Erdogan (i won't say Turkey), and his Allies.

...we can hope for a quick war, but i doubt it.

Nope nothing there sorry, it has a central inflation system and the deflated tyr es where probably due too a leak in the system.


Anyways, don't think they will be needed more worried about a missile malfunction from a Russian ship hitting the Carlsberg Brewery

ohhh goooddddddiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeee
just a few questions. which ones have to be kept garaged. those outside what exactly can they be covers with, those bloody t34s and t36s have ceased up so we need some new ones.

when it comes to war, tanks without air-cover and ground soldiers are sitting ducks. and you do know how easy it is to shoot a duck right. when your soldiers see mehmetcik crying allah allah they will break all running records backwards.

in one day you will have no powerstation, no tanks and no defence what so ever. on the second day terks will be entering limasol and the third day baf. dont even consider the larnakans they cant fight

now enjoy you hear. just seeing him will drive you into the sea. terkeys best weapon.
