Paraguay puts its 1940's Shermans and Stuarts back to active service.
Discuss.

Doesn't have to be modern to kill starving people in a jungle with no anti tank weaponry.
Should be able to set up international cross-trade and swap a t-55 for an equal condition Sherman. Maybe even a t-72. Dem off-the-shelf consumables.

Better than nothing.

That's awesome.. I kinda like the thought of using the older stuff in today's technology obsessed world.

if its only for scout roles then no problem

This, as long as the main gun is operational and the enemies have small arms it's okay. Problem starts if some jungle niggers will get their hands on an rpg.
I had no idea Paraguay even had a military.

If your main threat is guerrilla forces, then communication and mobility are more important than having main battle tanks with composite armor or $150M fighter jets.

could someone tell my the origin of the coat of arms in front of the plane in the foreground?

I love me some Stuarts. Used to play Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far and just zerg rush with them.

You don't even need an rpg to take out the tank. Just throw a couple molotov cocktails onto it. The fire sucks up all the air, the engine ends up dying.

Sort of, is to be used against narcos.

Doubt they will operate them as is, and considering other factors such as availability of parts as well as upgrading cost,they might as well as getting newer IFVs or even MRVs that could do the job done
