What else would you call it? A T-55 looks like a tank to me. The last I heard,
there was talk on the NATO side of the Mutual and Balanced Force Reduction
thing of getting rid of the old NATO aircraft, like the F-104's, before
the new Torando ADF's and the F-15's.

I expect the Soviets to get rid of their worst hardware first, just like I
expect that of us. BTW, they do have legitimate security needs, too.
