Perhaps they should have held on to them: Hundreds of rusting tanks abandoned in secret Ukrainian depot unveiled as Russia's armoured vehicles line its streets
That story and photo are from 2014. How do you know that those tanks have not been reclaimed and refurbished, considering that they were sitting at the famous Kharkiv Tank Factory, abandoned by the Russians in 1991?
Oops! My bad! Those abandoned tanks were subsequently claimed and refurbished by the UAF.
Apologies!
