This guys took a trip to the Russian abandoned tank army base.
Look like this place could make a good scenery for some 3d shooter game…

Interesting.
Did the USSR use SAE sized bolts or Metric sized bolts.
American motorheads like me want to know….
metric
of course metric, why should we use middle age units
LOL - Middle age units that you got from the British who have since had the good sense to convert to metric. You stupid Americans even managed to get your quantities wrong for the most part. Base 10 old chaps, it’s not just for the French it’s for continued evolution!
Haha, stupid Americans. Oh, wait, I’m American. Stupid me. I wish we would change to metric, but we have worse problems right now, like an idiotic president.
I agree completely, the US now has an idiotic president.
It don’t looks like a “Tank base”. T-34-85, IS-3, plane (damn, forgot the name) and old AA-missile makes me think that it is one of many surplus bases which planned to use in case of nuclear attack.
MiG-23.
Thanks
It’s pretty old too.
very interesting but would like to see more photo.
it looks like some sort of training and demonstration ground.
I’m not sure what the status is of this old hardware, but I bet Mahmoud Ahmedinejad will want to buy it for his Iranian army! HA HA HA!
Actually I would like to lease the property to establish a special summer camp for disaffected youth. The property is remote, secluded, with military-style facilities and training ranges–perfect.
It will need some modernization in some areas, though, and I would also like to know which is the nearest city with a disco so I will have a place to go after training to relieve the stress of dealing with teenagers.
Oh, and I will also require new locks for the gate.
disco is dead
Oh yeah? If you believe that, then YOU must be dead, my friend–dead in the soul. May I suggest you go out tonight, clear the dumbing-down sideways-hat pants-around-the-knees language-destroying hip-hop lyrics from your brain, and . . .
Listen to the ground:
there is movement all around.
There is something goin’ down
and I can feel it.
On the waves of the air,
there is dancin’ out there.
If it’s somethin’ we can share,
we can steal it.
And that sweet city woman,
she moves through the light,
controlling my mind and my soul.
When you reach out for me
yeah, and the feelin’ is bright,
then I get night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.
Wishing you the best in literary lyrical expression,
M. Ahmadinejad
im not those type of ppl who only listen to hip hop. i do from time to time, but i also listen to other stuff like…
alternative, pop, rnb, techno, dance, country, jazz, rock and roll, classical, rock, indie, punk rock, funk, etc.
srsly. still, disco is dead. it may have just arrived in iran, but to the rest of the world, it’s ancient history.
Okay I like some of those, especially jazz and I also like R&B. When I visit Russia and East Europe I listen to some techno to help get in the mood for some crazy girls.
So you like country music? Are you familiar with this tradition I hear about from my sleeper agents who travel in American countryside, called “stump-breaking the cow”? What is that? I think I must be getting false reports from “the field.”
Do you know the country singer whose career crashed, so now he pimps his young daughter to Disney and then had her pose for provocative photos in Vanity Fair magazine? “Billy Joe” something, I think.
Yours in music appreciation (and family values),
M. Ahmadinejad
Your agents must be getting a little too embedded.
A little too “embedded”? That’s good. You are a witty man, Johnny Kansas.
But I think you are correct, as the only reports I get lately are “send more money.”
I ask them, “Have you found a way to poison the water supply for a big American city?” and they reply, “No, but we spent the weekend scouting the lake on our new jet-skis and we saw many women that we are sure will go to hell because they exposed their thighs and tops of their breasts like brazen harlots . . . every time we drove by.”
I ask them, “Have you found a way to infiltrate a major naval base?” and they reply, “No, but we spent all week on the beach at Pensacola trying to compromise sailors so we could blackmail them into getting us onto base–they drank all our money in beer, so please send more.”
I ask them, “Have you found a way to cripple the highway transportation network so the American army can’t move troops,” and they say, “Well, we took a road trip up the Pacific Coast highway and we think we have some ideas . . . but we need more gas money.”
I ask them, “Have you found a way to jam the telecommunication system so the Americans can’t coordinate their response to my attack?” and they say, “No, but our new I-phones are cool.”
We can sell this coroded junkie to you, no problem. It’s a good material to show to the inspectors of International Atomic Energy commission.
“You see? We are in pieces. No need for Satan America to invade us. We just belly-dance in dead discos”. That’s the idea.
Dear Dzhugashviliy,
I can see that you are a very sophisticated strategist. Are you of Persian decent? Whether you are or not, let’s keep this little idea of yours between friends, okay? No need to alarm everyone.
Ssshhhh,
M. Ahmadinejad
sack your agents. i don’t live in america.
God..
Cool!
Very picturesque!
I especially like the shots of the idyllic little house peeking from the woods, with a rusty ol’ cannon aimed at it.
These were not shown in the May 9th parade….
[...] Guys took a trip to the Russian abandoned tank army base [...]
nice photos, could be more of them
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad:
Your time is up!
“Your time is up.”
You sound like a parking meter or a prostitute.
rather prostitute, americans are prostitutes of dollar and oil
Fascinating photos. Were the two tanks in the pictures above used for target practice? It sort of looks like some testing/training range for Russian soldiers. I’m saddened to see such tanks sitting and rotting away. I’ve love to have a tank to run over giant SUV’s and pickups here in the states.
i’d choose the mig over the tanks anyday
Well, what was the deal after the cold war? You could buy a flyable Mig for $50.00? I could mount an Air Force to invade a third world country for that.
In the 3rd pic, the turret in the foreground looks like a WWII German Tiger I turret.
That’s a T34-85 turret. The Tigers turret was more square and flat in front. That old IS-3 in the last pic makes me cry, get that to a museum!! Anyway this was probably a training base for tankers.
Is it even an IS-3? Glacis plate looks right, but seems like someone grafted an older IS-2 turret on. Transitional model, perhaps, if there was such a thing?
It is. Genuine IS-3. Rusty, but still majestic.
Where are the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s? :-))
After the war they had so many different variations of tanks it is tough to remember which is which. It could be an IS-2. I\’m not going to look it up. Lets just say its an IS tank.
I did look it up in Chamberlain and Ellis, 1972. As I said, hull (especially glacis plate) is IS-3 (note position of spare track links), but the turret is definitely not IS-3 “inverted frying pan” style. I have a suspicion that a repair shop swapped turrets at some point, but would love to hear from someone who really knows WWII-era tanks.
Change to metric as soon as possible, so you can buy russian junk.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad:
Wits will not help you now. Israel is going to bomb the shit out of your rent-a-scientist nuclear program. You will pay for the terrorism you are promoting in Iraq in form of insurgents.
WE are going to take you down! I promise you that.
Come on, we should settle our differences like sportsmen. I have a solution–Kim Jung Il and I have been practicing Judo together and we would like to challenge two western leaders to a tag-team match. Kim wants to wrestle G.W. Bush, and I challenge Angela Merkel.
V. Putin and the Dick Cheney can be the referees, but keep all vodka and shotguns away from them.
Jesus “American”,are you just looking for trouble, or aged 16? Get a life!
Sorry, Russkis, we have real Amerikanskis (or fake ones) posting crap here. Barbarians everywhere, eh? I used to know what MIG that was, since I had to. Out of fighters (US) since ‘75 and memory fades. Most probable explanation is that it was a ’static display’ of an obsolete fighter at this ‘base’, or storage ‘depot’. There is/was a MIG-21 display (up on a pedestal) at the entrance to Zhukovski, so much the same thing, and we do the same in America, etc.
แปลกดี
Where is this base?
Great photos author.
Eee hee hee! I also liked the Joseph Stalin tank - were those turrets from KV tanks there? That is kind of a strange base eh?

look at the bolts in #11, look pretty new, a inox steel or other really extraordinary alloy
omg,foreign spies - even breaking in Russian arsenal !!
just under nose !
p.s.
nice pic of T10A tank
Russia is great military force. And its ruins can prove this.
There’s something wrong with your statement.
I’d suggest revising it.
paintball any one?
forget about paintball,
let’s bring up some airsoft gun.
I really must know:
Where do you find these abandoned combat tanks? I’m a military collector whose has a major sweet tooth for world war 2 relics especially. I want a tank, but everyone else seems to beat me to one before I can get to it. That pisses me off. These abandoned tanks need some work at times, but I find them to be the perfect addition to any collection.
