It said that the images show T-54 tanks, which the Soviet Union started producing in 1947, moving west from the far east of Russia.

Well, that’s it then. Time for the massed Ukrainian armies to drive on to Moscow for final victory.

True. Step by step they are moving in the right direction. Then nazis and neocons will have no chance.

Before too long, we will be hearing about the re-deployment of medieval trebuchets.

Unearthed and dusted off after hundreds of years!

Well… um.. they can’t be tracked by whatever spchinese tracking device is in the new ones. If it’s like everything else, the new kids can’t drive them, which is probably okay because they don’t feel like adulting tofsy or maybe ever.

Well if they are still running they would have been manufactured before communism did its worst to Soviet manufacturing. I’m not going to sneer at WWII vintage tanks.

The tanks have been retrofitted to launch assault-shovels.
