Russian Tank Graveyards in Afghanistan

[güttsfükk]

Soviet Tank Graveyard (Afghanistan) - On the outskirts of Kabul, Afghanistan there’s a massive collection of abandoned Soviet battle vehicles left behind after the failure of a massive eastern bloc military occupation of the country in the 1970’s and 1980’s. The Soviets left in a hurry and couldn’t be bothered to find a way to get broken-down tanks back home, so now they sit, partially stripped and covered in graffiti. Afghanistan has few recycling facilities, so this cemetery o tanks will likely remain where it is for many more years as a reminder of the Russian invasion.

I'd love the chance to salvage some of that and build a few complete tanks and APCs.
