Older than Putin: T-54 production tanks of 1946 began to be sent to the front,-CIT (photo, video)

The Second Army of the World removed the Soviet T-54 tanks in Arsenyev, which began to be developed before the end of World War II. For the first time since the war, the T-54/55 tanks began to be exported from the backup base in the Far East. This was reported on March 22 by Conflict Intelligence Team (CIT). Experts noted that the echelon recently left the Primorsky region Arsenyev. This city houses 1295 Central Reserve Base and Tanks Storage.

This is no longer the first attempt to supply old armored vehicles from this location. In October 2022, in Yekaterinburg, the Russian military removed the tanks of the T-62M (B) tanks, which also left Arsenyev. Investigators emphasized that the facts of using T-62 tanks were confirmed in the summer of 2022. According to the relevant photos, experts have determined that on the basis of Arsenyev stored in addition to T-72B and T-80BV a significant amount of T-62M (B), T-54 and T-55.

"Removal of T-54/55 storage was recorded for the first time," the post reads. Cit analyzed satellite photos from this base. Subsequently, it was found that in the period from June to November 2022 it was left at least 191 tank (probably mainly T-62). Their number can be larger, because the finished technique is located in hangars, which does not allow to make an accurate calculation. Also, the number of tanks that can still be used by Russian troops can still be used to the front of these models.

Oleksandr Kovalenko, coordinator of the group "Information resistance" noted that in the Russian Federation for 10 years they told about T-14 "Armat", but during the year of the war in Ukraine the T-54, adopted in 1946, was sent to Ukraine. This armored vehicles are more than years old than Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was born on October 7, 1952.
