Thanks to a shipping label on the barrel of the main gun of a Russian T-90A tank that wound up at a Louisiana truck stop, we now have an idea where it came from and where it may have been headed before the truck hauling it broke down Tuesday night, leaving it sitting at Peto's Travel Center and Casino.
You can read our original story on the mysterious tank in question here.
The shipping label, photographs of which were shared with us by Louisiana resident John Phelps, shows it was sent from an organization called the “multinational assessment field team” with the port of embarkation listed as Gdynia, Poland. Its port of destination was Beaumont, Texas, about 90 miles west of where the tank wound up. The "ultimate consignee" on the label is Building 358, 6850 Lanyard Rd., Aberdeen Proving Ground. That's the home of the U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center (ATC).

$100 billion? For this??
I think we got ripped off.

Where’s my tank?
Dude. Where’s Muh Tank?
"The side armorisn't nearly thick enough to make it through Baltimore"
Why didn’t they ship it to a port closer to its destination in Maryland? Smacks of theater, being shipped overland thousands of miles on an open trailer.
Very weird.
Additionally, the author skipped over one pertinent detail: The ‘multinational assessment field team’.
I believe that the group is an extension of the pre-invasion ‘Joint Multinational Training Group-Ukraine (JMTG-U)’...i.e., an evolution of the ‘coalition of the willing’. Yes, as more time passes and the truth comes out, it appears that we’ve had ‘advisors’ in uke for quite some time. Can’t help but wonder what else they’re hiding. /s
Oh darn, the military is getting it for analysis. I was hoping that after some cleaning and mechanical work, an American teen with rich and indulgent parents on a big ranch was going to get one swell birthday present.
When will these be available on Amazon?
“Can’t help but wonder what else they’re hiding.”
Must be thousands of NATO troops fighting there ?
We’ve been shipping military equipment to Ukraine since Trump came in and have had advisors and units of National Guard training the UA for years. Public knowledge.
“...leaving it sitting at Peto’s Casino”
“I’ll see your $1,000 and raise you one T-90, slightly used, but in great shape.”
How in the H*** did we get a T-90 out of Russia? Wasn’t aware that they had bothered to put them in Eukraine for duty.
I see. /s
Then why do they keep denying it after reporting that they left, directing that they are merely ‘inspectors’ of US equipment?

Did anybody take a chance to look inside it? Was it full of Ukrainian gold?
“Why didn’t they ship it to a port closer to its destination in Maryland? ”
Because it’s not going to Maryland, and it’s not from Poland. The “shipping labels” are the cover story, designed to obfuscate. Probably only Hunter and Wray know the real story.
They’re throwing everything into the effort except nukes.
They’re now going through the Cold War tanks and shipping them east.
Possible. Still weird.
