A bunch of those 'abandonments' were more of a 'shit shit shit we gonna die' thing, TBH.
EldrickWoods
Why does something get instantly creepy when its submerged in a body of water?
Teesea
I always thought abandoned porn was the grotty porn mags you found in the local park as a kid.

I'm sorry for MiG25 and MiG23, amazing engineering ...
RedneckAvengers
I want to Rebuild/Refurbish the First one
copingcabana
How dare yuo to insult glorious Russian Amphibious Airforce!
ILikeNotNotLikingThings
Abandoned, unwanted, an accident. Words you may use to describe war relics, but you should never say to children. Unless they're being rude.
MisterLemons
Abandoned T62s? You mean modern russian MBTs lacking 'supplemental armor'.
Matte9421
A lot of Russian stuff.

The legacy of war exists long after the last shot has been fired.

Millions and millions of dollars.. just sitting there.

Intact B-17 wreck in PNG: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/a9/88/6d/a9886dbcea50c607fe730215b3bb6e0d.jpg
Salicaz
You and I have very different opinions on what "intact" means :)
actionandrewjackson
Ha! You're right...I should have gone with "Large chunks of a B-17 wreck."

Is #4 an X-Wing?!
JoggingWithForks
Mig25, NATO designation Foxbat. A western design that never left the drawingboard, Russia stole the drawings and put it in the air.
MekootGorlock
This is what I logged in to post, way to beat me.

Idk but it looks like there is still a gun up there

That's the front dash.

Pretty sure this one (

SU-25, NATO Reporting name, "Frogfoot". Russian Close-Air-Support aircraft.

It's not really abandoned if you die in it.
damelamusica
Don't forget Moreton Island!
DragonLordG
An entire group of tanks seems like such a waste to just leave there to rust.
thenicolascage7
That tank has oysters
jeep44
Probably going to be torched up for scrap metal.
MrMasky
Looked like old T-62's to me, with that knowledge they'll probably just sit there and rust as it's cheaper than refurbishing or scrapping
CanadianOneDollarCoin
I believe you mean to say: herd of tanks
DeputyVanHalen
A terd of hanks*
WhyCantIPickUsername
Of course I've heard of tanks.
CanadianOneDollarCoin
I set you up for that one :)
ChuckNorrisAteMySock
As a Soviet military historian, the Red Army had like 53,000 tanks in 1983, a lot of which were obsolete, so now there's more tanks (1)
ChuckNorrisAteMySock
than anybody knows what to do with.

If they weren't horribly neglected, start tank-NASCAR.

Abandoned WWII planes just remind me on Tomb Raider now.

It's sad though. COD doesn't have any vehicles drivable...

Battlefield FTW

I love battlefield And battlelog is my home page.

Nice
ChristopherNixon
PSN, XBL or PC?
MadrugaRocket
Ooh that question kills everytime. Because I wish I could answer PC. But I just have the xbox360. And BF is so amazing in other platforms...
MadrugaRocket
Even the NextGen would be fine for me. But I have fun anyway at anytime a play...which is everyday
BeardOnTheInside
T-64's and T-72's just sitting there.....ripe for the taking?...... I'LL TAKE 5! OF EACH!
KazadAiMenu
lacks a photo of the dishes my roommates said they would clean
MisterBriightsiide
So wait, someone just parked tanks ON TOP OF other tanks and decided "Fuck it, don't need these things anymore"?
GreenLantern15
The Soviet Union collapsing will do that.
flickerdart
The only other use for obsolete tanks is selling them to North Korea.
Riveter27
Or selling them to me...
BYERE
I dunno... take them to bits, salvage any good parts, melt the rest into new ingots for re-use... They want us to recycle...
flickerdart
Not worth the labour costs.
krauraurgg
Or they're just hoping metal prices will rise quicker than they rust, making it more profitable in the future.
flickerdart
I don't think you understand the Russian business model. There is a joke: How does a Russian do business? He steals a crate of vodka, (1/2)

Too much Fallout. Saw pics, first through is how much cool loot is probly in these places. With stupid robots guarding probly.

who would abandon you?
leprekhanofdeath
Everyone
ddspill
Every time I drink a can of soda, I always wonder if part of it ever flew in war?
leprekhanofdeath
How does one drink a can? I would think it would make jagged tears down your everything. And a large boner killing bulge in your throat.
Erilis
lol, came back to +1
IndigoWendigo
Sorry dude, but you CAN'T be as cool as a tank.

BarnabasWizardcock
Haha. Hey, take comfort in the company of the abandoned.
ohhbaby
I was thinking the same thing about myself!
YoureALizardHarry96
Yeah I'm surprised my picture's not up there *abandonment intensifies*
iknowalotaboutboats
Anybody want to rebuild a T-55 with me?
Hybris51129
I'm game!
thatsnotright
You find it, I'm totally down...
IAlwaysUpvoteFirefly
Sure!
cfw4x4
If I can make it, I am in.
VerbalSpaghetti
most of those tanks look to be of a t-64 model
iknowalotaboutboats
Russian tanks all look pretty similar in the T series, T-54, T-55, T-64, T-72 etc.
philliplovesall
What about that Kugelblitz @ (#11)?
Talmorean
Only if we get Laura Petty to drive it for us.
Melonfish
These guys get T-55's and T-72's every so often: http://www.tanksforsale.co.uk/

HeadlessRogue does.
TheSkipjack95
Nah sorry, I'll gladly take the Hip, the MiG 25 or MiG 23 though
iknowalotaboutboats
Well I'm no aerospace engineer, way beyond my quals.
Hammaneggs
Maybe you could search around for a BT series tank as well? That would be easy to make road legal and to drive by comparison.
iknowalotaboutboats
Interesting thought, Ill keep that in mind.
SauronsLeftNut
Not only Yes, but FUCK YES!!!
PreOpBear
Yes

Hm... no, its... ok, no problem *sobs internally*

Nah, I"m still trying to rebuild this dumb T-14 Hyperdrive generator to get off this dusty wasteland of a planet.

When and where?

If I had access to soviet block depots I'd already be doing it :/ No good surplus here... government melts it...

It doesn't have to be a T-55. Sorry. Not sorry.

No it does not.

I'm in as fuck ! I do suck in mechanics, but I can paint cool stuff on it and maybe small tasks. I make great beef stew too.

We would need a good chef!
GaneshaTheElephantGod
who'll finance it?
iknowalotaboutboats
Well, shit I come back online today to find 20+ responses to this comment, maybe a kickstarter would work.
Hybris51129
We use kickstarter and put as one of stretch goals is to use the finished tank to rob a bank or chain of jewelery stores.
MadrugaRocket
I'm ok with that! Link me to it.
GaneshaTheElephantGod
How about we improve the tank and use it to rob the UAE
Hybris51129
I love it! Maybe we can cap some ISIS dudes while we are in the neighborhood.
GaneshaTheElephantGod
yeah but first the money to get more tanks. basically found a expandables alike group
Ninethousandeighthundredandtwo
Can we do it over the summer to some themed music?
FormerNortherner
Aren't tanks legal for road use if the have rubber pads on the treads in the UK?
JagdPanzer38T
Yes, but you may need a special licence to operate, because of it's limited view, and wider chassis.
spenc15
what are they going to do your in a tank.
Braethias
Call a bigger, newer tank?
Britich
Not the ones with huge shooters on em, even if you filled the turret with lead youd have to remove the turret. Private land though.. GOGOGO!
DoomyMcDoom
I'll help! I fucking love tanks! Also I'm pretty good with mechanical shit, I can fix damn near anything so long as it's not computerized.
iknowalotaboutboats
Well I don't know if we would get as far as putting in a new firing computer and all that jazz, it'd be cool enough making it drive.
DoomyMcDoom
I'd bet none of those models of tanks in that heap ever had a firing computer to begin with, so even if we wanted to fire, wouldn't be hard.
DarthFluffyBottom
.....and that's why I work with classic cars.
DoomyMcDoom
Exactly! My first car was a '77 mustang that I partially restored before I had to sell it, and my second was a '70 Polara, fixed that too.
DarthFluffyBottom
Banged up Volvo Amazon '68 was my first.
DoomyMcDoom
That's funny, I was actually thinking about getting one of those, it was a kind of pea green colour, bought my mustang instead though.
SoulOfCoal
That underwater tank... we know how that happened.
capecodgirl508
woah where did that happen I bet it made the coolest reef!!
MIsterMerlin
After WW II we dumped tons of perfectly working tanks, and armor into the ocean rather than drag it back home. I

bad1ands
i think the anti-aircraft gun second from last was placed there for divers
JT64
Same with the first given that the landing gear is down. Maybe a reef project?
Denbus26
Could have been that the gear was already down when it hit the water too
JT64
Yeah but if I was ditching into the ocean the last thin I would want down is the landing gear, given the plane flipping drag it could cause.
JT64
Also I would imagine a crash would actually damage the plane, but the props are fine and the glass is in the window....
fleXbad
Gear would snap if it hit the water and the props, possibly the wings, etc.
wipethatfaceoffyourheadbitch
they were still left there after the crash, therefore, also abandoned.
[deleted]
[deleted]
wipethatfaceoffyourheadbitch
the difficulty of retrieval is irrelevant. the fact is that they've all been ditched.
callmecharlie8113
like that comment u replied to,completely abandoned
