MikeCZA: In the meantime, they could move the other 2 refurbished Hinds from Kinshasa to North Kivu. But, not going to happen. Just like the Congolese soldiers fighting in the Kivus have to make do with T55/59 tanks while T-72s stay with the Garde Républicaine in Kinshasa. |

tdayof:To me Nigerian soldiers are not cowards and have never been, they didn't have the right equipment or training/tactics for the battles they engaged in, things have changed and it is very evident only a fool would still argue otherwise.

jakeporeshenko: Nigerian soldiers withdrew, when it was clear they were about to be overrun, regrouped and counter attacked. Anyway, it doesn't matter, we simply rolled back all the gains the terrorists made in 6 weeks in what is a magnificent military feat by any standard.

MT-LB. Nigerias wasted resource. The design that would become known as the MT-LB began in the 1960s as a direct effort to replace the AT-P range of dedicated artillery tractors, which had previously been utilised in the 1950s to tow 85 mm D-48 and 100 mm T-12 field guns. Expanding on the tried and tested PT-76 chassis, the replacement vehicle for the AT-P was spearheaded by the distinguished Kharkov tractor plant, with two key principles in mind. The first was an emphasis on very slim and low silhouettes, evidenced by the MT-LB's very squat profile, lacking any turret save for a lone single man MG position. The other principle was the need to allow the vehicle to cross water bodies under its own power, being buoyant and able to move through water via the movement of its tracks. The original unarmoured model was simply called the MT-L, whereas the ubiquitous MT-LB had up to 14 mm of welded steel for protection. Following its debut in Moscow parades in 1970, where NATO quickly attached the moniker of "M1970", it began to appear in substantial quantities in both the Soviet Union and export partners, branching out from its intended role of artillery transport to everything from combat engineering to ambulance work. Where it would be most commonly employed, however, was in a taxi role, as it could fit up to 10 or 11 soldiers with two crew members inside a relatively spacious canvas lined compartment with NBC protection. In fact, both former communist countries such as Poland or Bulgaria, and the Russian Federation continue to maintain fleets, with the latter boasting 1500 MT-LBs in restored condition.

Without a doubt, it is not a glamourous vehicle, but it played an important part in the Soviet Army of the 1970s-1990s and an absolutely critical one in the arsenals of Warsaw Pact members such as East Germany and Poland. The many, many variants of the vehicle, both for export and for specialised domestic use, are too many to count here, but it seemed that the humble MT-LB could be modded to fit every single vehicular role out there - as tank destroyers, transports, tractors and command posts. When NATO and the west first caught wind of the MT-LB in the 1970s, the first question that came to the minds of military planners was why the Soviet Union was producing the MT-LB, albeit in lesser numbers, when the excellent BMP was already in service. In hindsight, it is quite clear that a similar armed APC role was not envisioned for the MT-LB, but rather a versatile motor to support operations of all varieties with limited industrial and technological strain. The MT-LB certainly succeeded in this respect.
