Tank Spotting: Reportage Photography: T-34 Tank Museum

Yes, this is a vehicle spotter blog but tanks are also vehicles, of course, and the T-34 has already been featured, so anyway - from one of my other blogs - here is a story in photos (reportage photography) of a visit to the T-34 Tank Museum somewhere north of Moscow.

 

Tanks various in front of the museum building.

This is from a couple of years ago, if memory serves.

These first photos are from the viewing area in front of the museum building.

Here is a Vostok Komandirskie tank watch and the very tank pictured on the dial which is a T-60.

Tank for the inquiring minds - you can walk and climb on it - but cannot get inside.

The Tsar Tank.

The Tsar Tank was maybe the world's largest tank built by Russia in the first World War, and this is a full-size replica.

I don't think it was ever fielded though.

It was supposed to carry lots of machine guns.

Army repair of a T-34 tank under field conditions.

The T-34 tank on a pedestal which can be seen from a major road leading north of Moscow.

And now moving inside.

The famous Kulchitsky jump in a BT-7, longest tank jump in the world.

Tank armor weld seam. 

Ze Germans never mastered armor welding, among other things.

Tank driver simulator.

A period machine gun which was dated at the time but still use widely together with quite a few new designs.

A diarama painting.

Diarama fragments.

The entire painting.

That's all for now, to be continued.
