So some dude who clearly knows nothing about the military in the comment section claims i am dancing to the drum of my paymaster. The Nigerian army uses T-34 tanks made during World war two he claims. I wont bother replying comments like of this natur, but after seeing nearly

ten lines of replies of which nobody challenges or corrects such a ridiculous claim its only fair i point out his falacy. As of December 23 2020 these are the main battle tanks fielded by the Nigerian army.
VT-4 Main Battle Tank (Frontline tank of the Nigerian army). Arguably the most sophisticated Main Battle Tank in Africa today.
T-72 M Main Battle Tank.
Vickers Mk.3 Eagle Main Battle Tank
This is already the largest tank force in Sub Saharan Africa. Im gonna leave out the T-55 and AMX-30 in strategic storage because their serviceability might be in question. There are no images of them being used in the front.
If this is not enough these tanks are supported by a fleet of fire support/ tank destroyers. Such as the FV101 Scorpion Light Tank.
SH-1 Tank Destroyer
ERC-90 Tank Destroyers
