  1. I call shenanigans! That's not a tank, it's an IFV. I think that's a BMP-3

  2. Probably the PT-76 Light amphibious soviet tank that has been exported to 25 other countries. And not an IFV as the above comment suggests. The camouflage would make this either Syrian or Iraq at a guess. (out of production since 1969)

  5. Plavayushchiy Tank. The 76 is the Caliver of the gun.

  7. As the other Gentlemen already stated it's a PT-76B at the USAF Threat Training Facility in Nellis, Nevada.

  8. PT-76 light amphibious tank. This was always one of my favorites when I was learning to interpret imagery. It has to vents on the back deck that make a distinctive shape.
