Russia is preparing for its V-E day parade. They have a load of T34s ready and in practice managed to wreck the roads.
These are late model Check builds but i thought you guys might be interested.
Since i don't have copyright its best to do some search related to the parade/practice/T34 etc.
I guess they use these tanks most years but its an excuse to have another look.

T34s on parade Russia 2020
Re: T34s on parade Russia 2020
The parade in Sevastopol was a bit grand this year. Three years ago they got the T34/85 sitting on a plinth at Sapun Museum since 1955 running, cleaned it up and it was in parade that year. Last year they had him, the JS 2 and Katyushya. This year, well, take a look. Drizzle of rain until the parade actually started at 10:00 sharp, then it stopped. Vehicle action starts at roughly 40:20.

In a few weeks, VCO and I will go out to Sapun Mountain and photo each of them in detail, then do a spread of them here.
Here's the vehicles themselves in combination with Red Army Sevastopol. All Red Army vehicles are privately owned and maintained. Many are stored and displayed at 35 Battery Museum.
