The collapse of the Lebanese Army's 4th Infantry Brigade in February 1984 allowed the LF to make up for their own losses incurred in the 1983-84 Mountain War by seizing seven M48A5 MBTs, five AMX-13 light tanks, and twelve Panhard AML-90 armoured cars. Later in the war, sixty-four T-54A, T-55A and T-62 tanks, along with eighteen BTR-60PB (8x8) APCs were received from Iraq via Jordan in 1986-89; a few M577 command vehicles, AMX-VCI and Panhard M3 VTT armoured personnel carriers were also seized from the Lebanese Army. The LF also fielded three Soviet-built ZSU-23-4M1 Shilka SPAAGs captured from the PLO in West Beirut early in 1982, which they employed in their battles for control of east Beirut during the Elimination War in 1988–1990.
