Its kind of bizarre, I've seen everywhere from
1500 to 4100 coaltion tanks, but I believe that some of these sites include APC's like the Bradley as tanks.

Also out of the 3300 coalition tanks a lot of those didn't leave Saudi Arabia and acted as a reserve force and defensive force.

From everything I've read and it could be wrong, there were 1500 coalition tanks involved in the actual armor war against Iraq with the majority being the M1.

Shockingly the Syrians supplied 30 T-62 tanks to the coalition.

I can just imagine the thought of a M1 driver seeing those drive into a maintenance yard.
