Russia has delivered a second batch of T-72 main battle tanks (MBTs) and BRDM-2M 4×4 armoured reconnaissance vehicles (ARVs) to the Lao People's Armed Forces (LPAF).

The first batch was delivered between December 2018 and January 2019, with a Laotian source telling Jane's at the time that the LPAF was receiving "several dozen" T-72B1 tanks.
The vehicles were unveiled during the 2019 parade marking the 70th anniversary of the LPAF.
