50 battle tanks (of various types), armoured personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles and other equipment could be seen on platforms and even near houses. 37 armoured personnel carriers have already been loaded onto platforms. All the equipment did not have any identification marks besides number plates and was not guarded.
