I've no idea whay these tanks are piled up like this. No explanation in the title. It sure looks like the reactive armor ( explosive) is still in place.

The freight would be horrible, but wouldn't it be fun to clatter down to the gro for a loaf of bread in one of these? SW

You could get them for the price of the metal.

Also some T-55s & T-62s toward the bottom of the pile. SW

One of those would come in right handy around here, particularly on my trips into downtown Orlando. Carjack this homie!

I was cruising the Russky sites just now & found a short narrative that these are related to the Chernobyl screw-up. Possibly there was a military base downwind.

Which could mean these will sit there quite a while until the half-life expires sufficiently. SW

Yep, Kiev is not that far from Tchernobyl.
:(
My wife's parents put her on the first military flight out when the accident happened.
