Exhibition of Nicaraguan Army

The Nicaraguan Army has organised an exhibition to celebrate the 38th anniversary of it's foundation. The majority of the equipment is of Russian/Soviet origin. The most remarkable piece is the T-72 "Beliy Oriol" (White Eagle), which has been upgraded with a state of the art fire control system. It includes a panoramic sight for the commander, and is probably the most advanced of it's type in South America. On the other hand the ERA armouris still Kontakt-1.
