    Not yet.

    But to continue a post from the other thread.
    The former Warsaw pact now Nato nations getting rid of communist era stuff won't affect front line Nato strength.

    Most of this stuff was deep war reserves. The western Nato nations really don't want the stuff around.
    The problem with the stuff, particularly the vehicles, it presents a really nasty hazard for friendly fire. None of the stuff is compatible with western ammo, parts, etc.

    Those Czech T-72s if they were to be fielded in a NATO war, have a much higher chance of an American A-10 pilot lighting them up then being of any use.

    This is a good chance for them to dump all their non Nato compatible stuff. Good riddance. Let Ukraine use it to deal with Russia.
    Even Germany has stashes of Warsaw Pact era stuff from East Germany.

    Let them get rid of it all.

    Greece sent Ukraine 20,000 AK-47s captured off a ship going to Syria in 2013..

    The AK 47 story began on November 8, 2013, when the Greek coast guard ship detained the ship “Nur M” under the flag of Sier Leone. The ship left the port of Nikolaev (Ukraine) and then, after standing in Istanbul, again went to sea. The captain of the ship named the Turkish port of Iskenderun as the destination. At the same time, the Greek authorities received information that part of the cargo could be destined for delivery to the ports of Tartus (Syria) and Tripoli (Libya).


    In 56 containers, there were indeed boxes with 20,000 Kalashnikov AK47 assault rifles produced during the Soviet Union, as well as cartridges and other ammunition (explosives). The Greek Foreign Ministry requested and received confirmation from the Ukrainian side regarding the originality of the documents for the sent weapons.

    According to a Ukrainian Foreign Ministry official who asked not to be named, someone from Russia called Greece and said that information about the weapons being transported was most likely leaked by the Russian side, since it is also one of the main dealers in similar weapons, and Ukraine , in this case, they “crossed the road.” As a result, despite the scandal and attempts to sue, the Greek authorities decided to confiscate the cargo.

    Hell yeah. I'd sure burn through a pack after a firefight. Calming.
