I had read about that, was left in a small town as a monument. It was said that the gun wasn't even deactivated, and would fire
This is really something! Gotta love their deactivating method ;)
Looks like an ISU 152...there's a few parts back and forth between models but they didn't throw anything away. A tank destroyer, it weighed in at about 46 tons...I know a guy that would take it as is.
I doubt anyone has any ammo for that gun anymore anyway.Quote:

Love practicality of the Russian technology at the time, so fast forward to today and good to see adjustable metrics and sledge hammers still have a place in getting a Russian SPG running let alone no safety specs when oxy cutting!:madsmile:
Totally agree...................brilliant when you think it was left to die, and its now been brought back to life!!
That's not a tank......................it's a housing estate!
Is it a tank or a self propelled gun?
Either way it would be handy to have parked in the garage.
You could make your own parking bay with that one.....
