They were squeezed with beets: a Russian tank was taken near Kiev, which stood in the garden for almost 2 years (photo)
For almost two years, the armor lay in the middle of the arable land, and the owners of the land were cut with cabbage and beets. The Ukrainian soldiers were waiting for the right moment, not to go on the copy. The owners of the land where the Russian tank turned into scrap, they left at the time of the occupation, and when they returned, they found enemy equipment and a destroyed house in their garden. There are three children in the family.
They picked up all the wreckage, remains of shells and cartridges, cultivated the land and planted the vegetable tank. Photo of the tank in the middle of cabbage and beets flew almost the whole world. Foreign volunteers suggested that children paint the tank details. They were then sold at a charity auction for the Armed Forces, and seized $ 20,000 was transferred to the needs of the Ukrainian army.
In order to somehow help the family to serve the house, Ukrainian artists also put their work for the auction. Now the family has already brought the walls of the house. For almost 2 years standing in the Ukrainian land, the tank was very inserted into the soil, and to remove it from there, the military had to rush almost until the night. The easiest thing was with a tank tower - it was pulled out of the pit and loaded, but the tank building was not exposed.
It had to be sprayed and dragged into the road. Now the large family lives at the expense of the garden, raises money to restore the house and hopes for help from the state. Recall that the T-80 Tank of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation exploded on an anti-tank mini in the Belgorod region. As a result of the event, one serviceman of the Russian Federation was killed, another was injured, and heavy armored equipment was destroyed.
