Moldova is not a member of NATO, but has joined the North Atlantic Cooperation Council making it an official NATO ‘partner’.  NATO ‘partner’ countries are located all across the Earth, not just in the North Atlantic (the original justification for the creation of NATO was to form a joint defense system for countries in the North Atlantic).

Video of vehicle review, and some live fire, July 2020.  Sadly, that’s about it for the Moldovan National Army.  At the end of the video the Minister of Defense, Alexandru Pinzari, admits they are working with “obsolete” equipment:

Moldova used to be a part of Romania, called Bessarabia.  Under Soviet rule Bessarabia became the Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic.  With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Moldova declared independence in August 1991.

From what I’ve researched, Moldova has between zero and possibly a whopping three Main Battle Tanks (MBT), all T-64BV.

The reason for little or no MBTs in Moldova is apparently because of a cease fire agreement between Moldova and a former territory called Transnistria (Transnistria actually declared independence one year before greater Moldova, yet the ‘NATO’ world refuses to recognize it because it is one of the last few Soviet Republics that still believes the Soviet Union is alive and well).  The Sweden based OSCE has been overseeing arms control agreements including the destruction of heavy military vehicles like MBTs.  Moldova has complied, but not Transnistria (meaning tiny Transnistria has more armored vehicles than much larger Moldova).

The majority of Moldova’s existing armor are Soviet era armored cars of various types, then tracked utility vehicles like MTLB, and tracked self propelled artillery guns/rocket launchers.

At the beginning of 2017, a news report said that a family had been hiding a T-54(?) tank on their property in the divided district of Anenii Noi.  It was confiscated.
