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
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.
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….
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.
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.
Change to metric as soon as possible, so you can buy russian junk.
แปลกดี
Where is this base?
Great photos author.
i’ve been there before it was awesome. i took a tank from the base and restored it.
Does anyone know the location?
See my later comment.
It is not far from Moscow
It is Ground engineering Troops near Nakhabino.
I was there at the bottom. Here is another pictures:

I – the one with the beard 🙂
And this – location:

look at the bolts in #11, look pretty new, a inox steel or other really extraordinary alloy
Nobody does large scale metallurgy as well as Russians, and I mean NOBODY!
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.
Avionul este un mig 23
i would take a take and restore it
Just love those photos.
I think the fisheye lens distorts the turret shape/effect. Note also the 3 side bins. There was a T44M /v.early T54 turret up the top also – cool
In truth, immediately i didn’t understand the essence. But after re-reading all at once became clear. Some babies have a build up on the scalp that is called cradle cap.
So amped I finally googled this site. I’ve been tryin to find this stuff all week hah, your site had juust what I needed.
If you keep the info pouring in you will have tons more viewers coming to see what you have to write, thanks.
All the frames are superb peice of design and are a masterpiece of beauty & that to at very very affordable prices.If I were you, I would do the same $75 or $100 check, or a gift card to a home store like pier 1, homegoods, etc.Edit: this would be considered the exact same thing as a regular reception, so I believe gifts are expected.Its not mandatory to give money someones wedding ceremony. You should give a special thing or what he/she likes. Present something special.A wedding gift is not expected since it is a not a reception. Feel free to give one if you wish, but it isnt necessary.I like the idea of giving a $50 gift certificate to the couples favorite restaurant. I think $75-$100 is a bit high for a brunch.Id do the check or gift card.
