Post by Mannet » 19 Jul 2019, 16:11

hi,
I'm searching for informations and photos of former East German equipment, that was took over Bundeswehr. I've seen photos of BMP-1 Ost and MiG-29. there is also one photo of T-72 tank from Heimatschutzbrigade 37 ( https://twitter.com/kitsandcoffee/statu ... 4762888192 ). Are there any other ex-DDR vehicles in use of german military units ? thanks for help :)

- 3 x Iljuschin Il-62 (1990 - 1993)
- 3 x Tupolew Tu-134 (1990 - 1992)
- 2 x Tupolew Tu-154M (1990 - 1997)

Fighters
- 24 x MiG 29 „Fulcrum" (1990 - 2004)

Helicopters
- 91 x Mil Mi-8 „Hip“ (1990 - 1997)
- 25 x Mil Mi-2 „Hoplite“ (1990 - 1992, Army)

I am led to believe that ex NVA equipment was assembled for Ex United Shield the British Army Staff Ride organised for David Richards. There are clips of video on Youtube showing the bridging at Hameln but somewhere there were Germans pretending to be Warsaw Pact.
