Pzkpfw-e Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Monument tank in the Ukraine. Supposedly used against the Russian (backed?) side. [video=youtube_share;KeZ3VpDc0YQ]http://youtu.be/KeZ3VpDc0YQ Can you imagine any Western tank being able to do that, after sitting out for 40-odd years?

N.O.S. Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I can't think of many starter motors that would stick that extended cranking, let alone engines firing up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzkpfw-e Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 This is supposed to be the same tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmac Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Shocking, our monument tanks are shells, those in the former USSR were literally driven onto the concrete plinths! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Unless I'm mistaken there was a thread on that IS-3 here fairly recently. Nothing to do with the Ukraine and the gun was crudely gas-axed before recovery. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 wasn't that an ISU 152? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebBrady Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Is it just me thinking with all the things happening in the Ukraine at the moment and some military dressed people starting an IS3 is kind of alarming... we about to see IS3s rolling down a street while Dan Snow reports for the BBC?

john_g_kearney Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 The writing on the fuel tank (in Russian, not Ukrainian) says 'To Lvov' - which is in the far west of Ukraine. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
