Main battle tank T-72M1 was spotted on one of the highways in the canadian province of British Columbia.
According to the project " WP: Russian weapons ", a fighting machine was transported to the towed tractor multi-axle low-bed trawl. In the social media discussions, assumptions are made that it belongs to the military, which use it for their own purposes.
It is known that after the unification of Germany, Canada received from Germany 9 "seventy-second" from the Arsenal of the disbanded National people's army of the GDR, 86 units were delivered in the neighboring United States. After the wars in Iraq arrived there yet, and trophies of the enemy.
Sometimes, for unknown reasons, the T-72 was transformed into the likeness of the T-80BV, setting the simulation of dynamic protection and equipment to overcome water obstacles. Another part was shot during testing of the various advanced weapons.
At the same time, in the revealed photo shows that the tank is in good condition, it is clearly not intended to be used as a target on a military test site. However, shot a smoke grenade system 902А "Cloud", which was in front of the tower, and due to dimensional restrictions dismantled side skirts.
Besides, judging by the remains of the earth on the track tapes, the sample has not lost the opportunity to move independently.
So, you can make the assumption that we are talking about the exhibit for a Museum or a private collection. Recently we talked about the T-54A available in the canadian regimental Museum located in Oshawa (Ontario), but there is of Soviet models, until recently, was only the T-34-85.
