Since 1980, Third World forces have received nearly 12,000 non-US tanks, about the same rate of delivery that has prevailed since the early 1970s. These vehicles, worth about $10 billion, range in sophistication from the World War II vintage Soviet T-34 to the late 1970s vintage Italian OF-40; the greatest numbers, however, have been 1950s era T-54/55s and 1970s T-72s, both supplied by the USSR. While having large numbers of tanks gives Third World armies the potential for powerful attacks and great mobility, inadequate training, maintenance, and poor doctrinal planning limit the capabilities of most forces. ‘The design and production of tanks has traditionally been centered in Western Europe, the United States, and the USSR. The need for skilled labor, experienced engineers, and large-scale industrial plants and—more recently—the ability to work with exotic materi- als and electronics, has limited the number of new producers that ccan enter the field. Recently, however, South Korea and Brazil have received outside assistance and have been able to design and produce advanced tanks. They have joined India, which has produced tanks under Soviet and British licenses for more than 20 years, and Israel, which has used US financial assistance to produce the Merkava, tank, None of these countries has yet exported one of these tanks; the capability to deliver large numbers of proven and inexpensi tanks has kept the Soviet Union the largest single exporter; China, with its inexpensive copies of older Soviet tanks has emerged as the second-largest exporter. Together these two states account for more than 60 percent of tank deliveries. West European manufacturers have seen their share of the market shrink to a minor portion and ‘must rely on their own procurement needs to keep up production. 1 Secret 61 87-1075 ‘November 1987 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/12/05 : CIA-RDP88T00706R000500410003-2 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/12/05 : CIA-RDP88T00706R000500410003-2 Secret 25X1 Production: 1959-81 on Crew: Four a Combat weight: 36,000 kg = Road speed: 50 km/h a Road range: 400 km oS Max frontal armor: 210 mm 5 Main armament: 100-mm gun Q ‘Chinese development based on licensed _ production of Soviet T-54 MBTs deliv- ‘ered to China in the early 1950s.

Reverse Blank Secret 25X1 Deliveries of armored personnel carriers (APCs) have roughly paralleled those of main battle tanks. Over 16,000 APCs have been delivered to the Third World since 1980, with about 60 percent going to the Middle East and nearly 25 percent to Asia—also the largest tank customers. The APCs provide mobility and some degree of protection for the infantry that must accompany any successful tank assault. At about half the cost of a tank, personnel carriers can also mount machineguns, antitank guided missiles, and light can- non, thus giving them the flexibility to be used in a variety of roles, including antiinsurgency and internal security, command and con- trol, communications, and fire support. Wheeled APCs have been popular in the Third World—accounting for nearly half of deliver- ies—because of their lower cost, easier maintenance, and good performance in Third World conditions. The design and production of APCs is centered in the tank- producing countries. The complexity of design, larger size, and need for experience in armor fabrication has kept manufacturing cen- tered in the developed world. The Soviet Union leads in exports, accounting for over 40 percent of deliveries, and has sold over 6,000 BTR-60 and BMP 1/2 APCs to its clients. The United States lags far behind in second place. China, with its Type 63 APC, is the ‘major Third World exporter, with 7 percent of the market. Brazil, Egypt, and South Africa are the only other Third World states to have exported their own APCs, but their combined share of the ‘market is only about 3 percent. West European states, offering a variety of models, each have a small share of remaining sales, and continued improvements for new models in armor protection and mobility have limited sales of used APCs to a negligible portion of the market, 25X1 B Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/12/05 : CIA-RDP88T00706R000500410003-2 coo co Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/12/05 : CIA-RDP88T00706R000500410003-2 i Secret o O 4K TFA G1 or G2 Armored Personnel Carrier ‘Austria, Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG Production: 1977-present Licensees: Greece (1979-present) Nigeria (1979-83) ee) eee) (eee) Crew, troops: 10 Combat weight: 14,800 kg. fe Road speed: 70 km/h Road range: 520 km Main armament: 12.7-mm MG Uparmored version of the Saurer 4K 4FA APC fitted with the SK 105 light tank engine.

Deliveries to Latin America ate nese Reverse Blank Secret The proliferation of antitank guided missiles (ATGMs) in the Third ‘World has followed and paralleled the export of thousands of main battle tanks to LDCs. Antitank missiles have enabled many Third World armies to offset somewhat the main battle tank threat from their adversaries. Most antitank missiles have ranges longer than the ‘main gun on tanks, and wire-guidance systems offer a potentially high probability of hitting the target. ATGMs costing less than {$20,000 can therefore destroy a main battle tank worth up to $2 million, although smoke or artillery fie can sharply reduce the effectiveness of the missile operator. Exports to the Third World were stimulated by the 1973 and 1982 conficts in the Middle East, where the lethality of ATGMs mounted either on vehicles or helicopters was demonstrated. [Not surprisingly, the regional distribution of ATGMs and MBTs has followed a similar pattern. The great majority of tanks (59 percent) and antitank missiles (80 percent) have gone to countries in the Middle East and North Africa. Asia has received the second- largest number of both tanks (26 percent) and ATGMS (18 percent) during 1981-86, while Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America were a distant third and fourth, respectively. About two-thirds of the nearly 65,000 missiles exported to the Third World since 1980 have been supplied by the United States—the TOW missile is the most widely identified ATGM currently in service. The USSR was a distant second, with only 10 percent of the LDC market during 1981-86. Almost 8,500 Soviet AT-3 Saggers— 4a system with vehicle-mounted, air-launched, and man-portable versions—were exported (o the Third World in the last six years. Only about 3,500 of these were direct transfers from the USSR. The rest were retransfers from Libya to Iran in 1982 and sales of Segger variants by China, North Korea, and Yugoslavia. The second most popular non-US system was the Euromissile MILAN, a man- portable ATGM developed jointly by France and West Germany. Of the almost 5,700 MILANs exported to the Third World since 1980, 75 percent have gone to Iraq and India. The British Aerospace ‘Swingfire—a mobile, long-range system—was the third most com- ‘monly exported ATGM during 1981-86. Over 3,300 Swingfires, were sold, most of them to Egypt—the rest were retransfers from Egypt to Sudan, 87 Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/12/05 : CIA-RDP88T00706R000500410003-2 25X1 25X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/12/05 : CIA-RDP88T00706R000500410003-2 Secret MILAN France, Euromissile Weight, missile and tube: Speed: Minimum/maximum range: Penetration of solid ‘armor: Warhead: Guidance: Production: 1971-present 12ke 160 m/s 20 meters/ 2,000 meters 600 mm Hollow charge SACLOS/ Man-portable antitank missile system developed jointly by France and West MILAN 2 has night- Germany.
