The Mongolian Armed Forces possess tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and armoured personnel carriers, mobile anti-aircraft weapons, artillery, mortars and other military equipment. Most of them are old Soviet Union-made models designed between the late 1950s to early 1980s; there are a smaller number of newer models designed in post-Soviet Russia and China.
