Trailers for movies were not important back then (if they existed) and i don't think that Vietnamese communists were interested in caravans either.     Makes absolutely no sense. ---   Nice history, i think it's still in use with some countries .... many nations just don't need a super powerfull MBT, especially in today's age where the definition and expectations of the MBT are changing.

Falathi:  From what I`ve seen they are still in service of few countries, but I`m wondering how many of them are actually operation given the fact spare parts might be difficult to get. As for the MBT part - it`s also the matter of budget as well as expectations. Many countries can`t readily afford a powerful fleet of MBTs and their potential opponents can`t either, so some older vehicles are still used instead. 
BTW This reminds me that when I was checking dew years back there was still at least one country that had T-34/85 listed as in active service, although I have no idea if any of them were actually operational.
