There was one I could have sworn was an IKV-91 (wasn't, was some type of
T-some
thing
I imagine), but otherwise 29/30, allowing max of 1 sec to answer each.
Of course the days when you could say Western=Friend, Eastern=Foe are long
gone

Kuwaitis use T-72s not Vickers MBTs, There's a whole load of BTRs in
various
marks in NATO now, and the Mi-8 is becoming quite ubiquitous. So the
Friend/Foe
bit just tests my Cold War Reflexes *shrug*.

The Black Eagle is rumoured to be out of favour with the Russian army.. has
anyone actually deployed it yet?
OTOH, NATO's various new allies from the former Warsaw Pact all operate
various T-somethings, so nowaday's it's "square turret = ours, round
turret = probably ours"...
