Videos have appeared (I cannot verify their accuracy) of military training supposedly starting with the use of special armoured vehicles. The video shows a T-34, an IS-3 tank, and an ISU-152. All machines are from the Second World War.

1. Cant wait to see them put ERA blocks on T-34’s

2. Was a matter of time

3. Now Moscow can marry up its outdated operational approach, with antique military hardware, and troops whose military education hasn’t improved since the middle of the 20th century.

4. People standing or walking around, waiting …
   I guess for the arrival of “guests” and the old tanks are just
   for taking photos.
   Next, a welcoming ceremony will take place.
   Instead of some memorial site, a few exhibits from
   a tank museum were brought there.

5. So they are actually refurbishing things that should be in museums?

6. I’m 95% certain they’re used as prooaganda pieces to new recruits; “Look fellas, your grandparents fought in these fine pieces of soviet engineering without complaints in the great patriotic war. You’ll get the newer stuff from the ’50s, you even have padded seating and heating thats something better than routing engine exhaust into the crew compartment”

7. Horse drawn carriages with cope cages will be used soon. Though I don’t think the horses will make it past the stew-pot.

8. I hope it’s the North Koreans.

9. Kv-2 soon…

10. If there really is a t-34 functioning then they have run out of viable t-55 hulls

11. Soon they will offer money for +80s year old citizens who actually drove this buckets

12. how long before we see russian jumping a trench in a BT-5

13. I guess it’s just a (shit) show for the ranked military. Their WWII fetichism has no bound.

14. The correct era of equipment for the North Koreans to use.

15. People in the comments are forgetting how much time and money Moscow wastes on V Day. Previous parade tankers are likely dead by now.

16. It’s the Russian version of the ERAs tour

17. They pedal to move them

18. The Russians are showing the N Koreans the cutting edge equipment they will be dying in.

19. It’s probably for the may day celebration, or if things are really bad. A special Orthodox Christmas event. Where like Stalin, Putin wraps himself as defender of Russia and the Faith. Similar to 1940 Russia and needs them to sacrifice themselves for the war. Then these are just patriotic props

20. I really hope they send in the T-34s cause i need a T-34 engine and tranny.

    Cant wait until they start getting pasted and there are finally spare parts again.

21. Man people will believe literally anything these days
