About wiki. It, of course, has many important and genuine information. But, some may not be. Think of the APCs. I also used to believe the number (at wiki) APCs at about 1200 units.But, then we disussed the matter in a thead and we accepted the real number of APC at 650 units excluding the future new ones from Russia.
