Syria dumped all their German Panzers and WW2 equipment since the 1967 war, many of them *because* of the war and their ineffectiveness. It’s been 50 years and the last time anyone saw a Panzer in Syrian colors was sometime in the 80s. The oldest thing in their active inventory list these days is the PT-76B light amphibious tank and none of those have been observed in the current hostilities; this probably indicates that they have no serviceable units at this time and may have disposed of them. They have thousands of T-55s, T-62s, T-72s and under 100 T-90 variants.

Interesting, thanks. The WW2 tanks fighting each other in 1967 still gets my attention.
