In Verkhnaya Pimscha was a parade on 9th May 2024 with some real and rare highlights of military technology of WW2. Some I have never seen driving.
Here are mine:
T-35 rebuilt and search light with female crew. 1/X

Man stelle sich vor, die Ukraine sollte Leopard 1A5 Panzer erhalten? Wie könnte man sie nutzen?
Imagine if Ukraine received Leopard 1A5 tanks? How to use them? #panzer#leopard1#ukraine#UkraineKrieg#UkraineRussiaWar
Wie zuvor getweetet: Die Panzerung ist sehr dünn und die Kanone schwächer als die genutzten 125 mm Kanonen der T-Panzer.
As tweeted before: The armor is very thin and the gun is weaker than the 125mm guns used by the T-tanks.
