Bulgarian OBB

[Smersh]

this is the first time that I've heard bulgaria had T-62s. Any more information?I did not think it was exported to WP nations.

edit: your right, as of 1990 Bulgaria had at least 200 T-62s. No information on when they where introduced. In Lewis's Warsaw Pact: Arms, doctrine, and strategy from 1982 for the Bulgaria entry he says they have no T-62s. Although a lack of information existed at that time.

from country studies and cia world factbook:

"In all, the ground forces had over 2,400 tanks, including more than 300 T-72, 1,300 T-55, and 600 older T-34 vehicles. " no mentioning of T-62s. adding the stated amount of tanks models has you 300 hundred short of 2,400 tanks.

It's possible Bulgaria was the only WP country to recieve T-62. But again there is a lack of introduction dates. The T-62s being sold in 1993-94 could have been recieved in 1989, as soviet aide.
