The Tank is 83 years old...so 1940. Totally symbolic.

Totally symbolic.

Indeed so...of a decrepit, depleted Russian military that now has to use antique tanks on the front lines in Ukraine.

The T-34 was designed in 1934, pre WWII.

More like a late 1943 model, its a T34/85.

So 80 years old. This model was made into the early 1950s (IIRC) so the actual tank might be younger.
