Most of Bulgaria’s post-cold war exports of large military equipment, such as tanks and armored combat vehicles, have involved surplus weapons no longer required by the Bulgarian army. Although it often has to destroy what it cannot sell, Bulgaria has chosen to export its surplus weapons whenever possible.72 Such sales have been prominentthroughout the decade: of five confirmed sales by Bulgaria of tanks or armored combat vehicles from 1990 to 1997, four have comprised items from surplus Bulgarian stocks.73 In 1993, for example, Bulgaria sold Angola twenty-four surplus T-62 tanks and twenty-nine surplus BMP-1 armored combat vehicles from its arsenal, and it also delivered twenty-one surplus BMP-1s originating in Belarus.74 The arms exports were officially acknowledged by the Bulgarian government, which reported them to the United Nations the following year.

"I meant this thread to be about the Bulgarian OBB, my comment about the T-62 is as a side note, on the inconsistancies between WP OBBs on T-62 designations. "
"The Bulgarian OBB (obat 87) still has T-62s (units 11-13), they were removed from the E. German OBB, and as far as I know Bulgaria did not recieve any either. Lewis's Warsaw Pact confirms this"
well, you are disputing designation of tanks and inconsistances, how about checking your facts...
