The photographs in this article show a single Mali PT-76 amphibious light tank [1] reportedly outside the presidential palace in
Mali capital, Bamako, in late March 2012 following a military coup.
There are a number of online references indicating that
Mali had received a small number of PT-76 from an unknown source. These
photographs provided the first pictorial confirmation of this type in Mali.
The author observes that this particular example may
represent an early production PT-76 (mod 1951), based upon the distinctive multi-slotted
muzzle brake and lack of fume extractor on the D-56T 76.2 mm gun barrel. This model was only produced between 1952-1957 and not
widely exported.[2]

Evidence of markings are visible on the hull sides. Based upon other Mali armoured vehicles these
consist of a six figure number “00xxxx” with the “AMA” (Armée Malienn), possibly accompanied
by a small national flag.

All thanks to God I tested positive for HSV-2 few months ago. At first, yes, I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, there’s no “medical cure” but that doesn’t mean your body can’t get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Dr. Akhigbe natural herbal medication which I ordered after doing some research. And now I’m HSV-2 Negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV free. I’m so glad that I found you Dr. Akhigbe. Thanks so much for your goodness I’m grateful. You can also get your help from him through his Whats App Contact for fast communication (+2349021374574) OR Email: drakhigbeherbalhome5@gmail.com
