Another Tank from the Lake

russian tank from lake 1

Yet another tank was recently extracted from one of the lakes near St. Petersburg. There are plenty of tanks left since WW2, each year a few of them are being pulled out by different enthusiasts. This one is particular by it’s model “BT” which was translated as “Quick Moving Tank”. It had very narrow tracks so it had to move only on good roads, and the tracks could be completely removed so that it could roll on the rubber coated inner wheels on the good surfaces when army had to relocate quickly and there were good roads available.

        You fucking loser. Get a life. You sit in front of your computer and refresh english russia every five seconds just so you can make the first post in my name. Fucking pathetic. You are low life scum who isn’t even worthy enough of being pissed on. EliseiZorine, I know its you, I can tell by how you write (or at least try). You lost an argument, get over it, no need to resort to childish name stealing. Unlike you, I have a life, I only look at this site in my down time at work, you are a true troll. If I ever saw you in real life, I would fuck you up, but you probably never leave your computer. You are a piece of shit. Fuck You. Kill Yourself. Die.

      nice recovery! :) will they bring it back to live?

      Of course its a tank. Looks like a BT-7 light tank, maybe BT-5. Hard to say, I am not an expert. Good inter-war tank introduced in 1935. Christie suspension, excellent mobility and decent firepower, lacking in armor. Design led to the T-34.

      I imagine they are rather rare, as production stopped well before the end of the war.

      Nice. One day I will own my own russian tank or ba-64

    6. Kylex says:

      Looks more like BT-5.
      Just check this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BT-7

      D, since you know a thing or two, would you be so kind & explain briefly how to use method callbacks in C++, but without templates. I am trying to rewrite some C code in C++ and i’m wrapping some glut functions into a class, but stuff like glutDisplayFunc(…) needs a callback parameter to register OpenGL context drawing method or something like that:
      In C its like this : glutDisplayFunc(&DrawGLScene));
      but in C++ i got glutDisplayFunc(&glwin->DrawGLScene));

      and that does not compile. people are telling me to create a method pointer but with templates it is such a mess.

      sorry, off the topic

      • D says:

        I haven’t written C++ code for years, sorry cant help you out there. But just curious, what compiler are you using and whats the error it spits out?

        • belorussian says:

          i am using gcc 4.something and the error is long and full of examples; dont remember its precise content (@ work right now) but it was something like: C++ ISO does not allow referencing of inner methods(and alot of other spooky stuff, its actually in netbeans);
          no worries though; i found nice and cheap solution: apperantly there is GLUT rewritten for C++ accomodation and its called GLUI - very neet and simple environment with OpenGL extentions; anyway, thanks; ;)

      and if anyone feels like flying a Mig21 or riding t-34-85, go to http://www.tankride.com/tankrides.html; i think you can book a tank ride by calling theese guys; and you also get to shoot live ammo of different caliber, as well s t-34 gun; well its all on the website;

      Пьянючий чувак в разорванной рубашке, на морде у которого
      следы помады, в карманах - пустые бутылки, заходит в
      автобус и садится рядом с попом. Пьяный разворачивает
      газету и что-то там читает. Потом поворачивается к попу и
      спрашивает:
      - А вы не знаете, батя, от чего бывает артрит?
      - Артрит, сын мой, бывает у тех людей, кто сбился с пути
      истинного, кто спит с падшими женщинами и злоупотребляет
      алкоголем!!!
      - Ни х*я себе…
      Пьяный замолкает и смотрит задумчивым взглядом в пол. Поп
      пожалел, что высказался так резко:
      - Ну, ладно, сын мой! Давно ли у тебя артрит?
      - Да вы что! У меня нет артрита! Тут в газете пишут, что артрит у Папы Римского!
