Have any of you seen this?






I thought this was interesting. This was posted yesterday on the /TankPorn subreddit. OP says he is at a truck stop somewhere in Louisiana. This is a Russian T-90 Main Battle Tank, or MBT. This is one of the more modern Russian MBT's.

It has the white Russian markings, but also has Ukrainian markings as it was likely capture by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. It appears we got something in exchange for those Abrahams Tanks. It looks like parts have been marked with numbers, as it is likely going to be taken apart and examined.

They just leave them in a random parking lot?

Hey man, can you take the picture of my tank down?

It’s en-route to get gold plated for a musical artist of some distinction, but I can’t let you know who…

Yep that’s Roanoke for sure which is between Jennings and Welsh. Peto’s has the best boudin balls.

Probably just a prop from the movie set they are filming the faux war on.

I stop at Peto’s for the fried fish or meat pies sometimes. Better than fast food

I enjoy Jennings. There’s that park with the alligators and playground equipment for the kids to stretch their legs. And also a Shoneys which is like stepping back in time to 1986.

Actually it's for my grandson, his mother is overly concerned about him having a go cart.

Must be a manual transmission or some member of "the community" would have driven off with it already. Do those have catalytic converters?
