Number of Russian tanks invading Hungary in 1956
Sorry, I don't have any sources about the exact numbers sent to Hungary, but the ones in the article aren't impossible.
Red Army#The Cold War says that the army was estimated to have 3 to 5 million troops during the Cold War, and in the 1980s had 30 divisions in Eastern Europe (outside of the USSR). 150,000 soldiers is something like ten full-strength divisions, or two to three armies. That's a lot, but not an unreasonable number if you want to pacify an armed nation. Sending in fewer would increase the risk of an all-out fight. —Michael Z. 2006-10-24 23:09 Z
- Regarding number of tanks: the article says there were five divisions in Hungary, and seventeen more invaded.
- I don't have the references at hand, but reaching way back in my memory, I think a Motor Rifle regiment in the 1980s had over a hundred tanks (more than in a tank regiment, in fact). Three regiments to a division makes over 300 tanks each, × 22 divisions = 6,600 tanks plus, assuming they were at full strength. There may have been as many or more infantry carriers than tanks, plus artillery and support vehicles, too.
- My calculation probably has all the assumptions wrong, but it's in the right order of magnitude, so there's no reason to doubt the figures. The way the article is footnoted in the article, the figure might or might not be from Györkei (1999). We have no idea how they were determined: they may be based on Soviet documents or western intelligence estimates, or a back-of-the-napkin calculation like I just did here. —Michael Z. 2006-10-25 03:01 Z
