Yeah, it’s now the 9th most viewed post on this blog. Oddly enough, the most viewed one is the recipe for Cajun Red Beans and Rice.

Cajun Mercenaries took it apart and shipped it home. They discovered it doesn’t run on ethanol fuel.

Amazing isn’t it? We can ship a Ruskie tank home but couldn’t seem to ship ANYTHING home from Afghanistan.

I wonder what it was doing in Beaumont or Louisiana on its way to Aberdeen – their deliveries usually come through Baltimore.
It’s an unclassified shipment, I suspect it was dropped for the weekend or until permits were through for the next step of travel. It is very common for oversized loads to be dropped for days while waiting for permits or approved travel times.
I find it interesting how much misinformation is in the article – it shows that The Drive isn’t nearly as good as they’d like you to think – of course, I used to work in that field, so I know more than most people.
Doubtless it was from that any-minute-now-we-swear Russian Winter Offensive, which was apparently three fat guys running forward all on the same day.
They have apparently conquered all of Europe now, at least according to the usual crop of Putin-lickers’ breathless blogposts.
Except Ivan decided to go to Nawlins for Mardi Gras, and they hocked the tank for beer and lap dances, and there you are.

The white-cross markings are Ukrainian, not Russian. You bunch of morons.

T-72, Not a T-90. Not Russian Markings.
It could just as well be from a Private Collector/Museum Group, or Movie Prop Rental. Plenty of that Sovietski-Era stuff came out as “Surplus” from Germany and Poland after the soviet union fell apart. No Import Restrictions as long as you Torched the Gun Breech.

Couldn’t afford the gas to go the rest of the way home? (Thanks Big Joe!)
Seriously … Been wondering about that since I first saw it.

It’s a Russian T90 on the way to Aberdeen.

The hardest part wasn’t getting one; it was getting one that hadn’t had the turret lollipopped over to the side of the carcass.
Aesop · April 19, 2023 at 7:23 pm
Which, since Russia never sold T-90s to Ukraine, means it was never fired, and only abandoned by Russians once.
The markings thus took about 30 seconds with a rattle can.
Well-played.
