North Macedonia is handing over Soviet T-72 tanks to Ukraine, which it has planned to decommission in the coming years.
It is reported by the Macedonian RTS.
The Ministry of Defense of North Macedonia confirmed the transfer of T-72 tanks to Ukraine after footage of a convoy of vehicles appeared on social media.
The Ministry of Defense noted that the tanks were in service of the unit, which will soon be disbanded. The decision to transfer them to Ukraine was additionally based on the fact that this equipment will become obsolete in a few years, and it still needs to be replaced with modern ones. It is not specified how many tanks are transferred to Ukraine.
In general, as far as it is known, the army of North Macedonia has about 30 T-72 tanks in service.
It should be noted that the other day it became known about Poland's transfer of PT-91 Twardy tanks.
