http://ifun.ru/comments/176011 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 |

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. Brgds, A |
