For WWII Soviet armor freaks.....

I know I have posted this link before but it is worth posting again. They have just recovered a third tank from this river last summer, a BT-5. Like the other two tanks recovered, a KV-1 and T-38 amphib, it is in excellent condition. They say there are many more tanks sitting on the bottom of this river awaiting recovery. Take a look.

That is very cool! It's gratifying to see these coming out of "deep storage" and used for something other than scrap.

I think there has been much talk about this very same area... there are A LOT of tank wrecks hidden by the mud and sunk in the river!

Love the bit on the diving tanks as well. I've got a hankering for a dark green light tank suddenly :)
