Yup that's a t90. The new ones on the battle field.

To be reverse engineered for sure.

Hmmm. It seems like if it wasn’t meant to be seen, it wouldn’t have been. Breakdown or not.

I’m sure this exposure was well calculated to derive a reaction. What happens next?

Should have use Prime. They got backup trucks all over the place.

And now, Russia is sending 60 year old T55 tanks to the front...without upgrades https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2023/04/14/russia-sent-70-year-old-t-55-tanks-to-ukraine-without-even-upgrading-them/

It left Poland and is headed to Beaumont, Texas, about 90 miles west of where the tank wound up. The "ultimate consignee" on the label is Building 358, 6850 Lanyard Rd., Aberdeen Proving Ground, according to the Drive.

Going to Aberdeen MD. Which would have been my second guess.

"What's that smell?"

"Don't worry, it's just some dead Russians inside the tank."

"Oh, that's OK then. I was concerned it was a dead rat or something that deserved a decent burial."
