Where's the engine? Is it Flintsone powered? The guy in the back is going to be extra warm if those fuel tanks get hit...
Beirut 1982 - this would be too easy.

Russian World War 2 T-34 tanks still fighting in Yemen war (https://www.armyrecognition.com/defense_news_march_2021_global_security_army_industry/russian_world_war_2_t-34_tanks_still_fighting_in_yemen_war.html)
There were some T-34 tanks that were modified to take a T-62 turret circa 1980 (believed to be in Bulgaria). They had the turret rings and hulls modified to fit the larger turret, and were used as bunkers near the Turkish/Greek borders. Despite reports that they could reportedly still drive, it seems to be the case that they were just immobile bunkers. They also reportedly remained in service at least 1996.
South African Vuvuzela equipped version?
I don't know about anyone else but I need to ask (about the photo's in the context link); Where? What (happened)? and/or Why (does it look like that)? ???
I'm sure I saw that memorial intact just a few days ago on the news.
I'm seeing one either slightly damaged or undamaged tank & parts of two, maybe three, completely destroyed tanks (at least one slightly catastrophic detonation).

In the foreground of that first shot seems to be the remains of a 2S3 Akatsiya that has seen better days :o
2S19 Msta-S, actually.

Thanks Logan. What was the tip-off for the type?
The junk pile you're looking at could easily be mistaken for a T72 wreck.

The 2S3 Akatsiya uses a modified tracked chassis of the Krug (SA-4 Ganef) surface-to-air missile system.
The 2S19 Msta-S uses a hull that looks like a T72, but has thinner armor.

Absolutely right!

Which is what I did, until apophenia made his SPG comment, then I saw the guns were wrong for the T-72. :-[
* Like how i brought the thread back on target there, Moderator? ...
What if germans copied T-34 to produce a tank more german?

Just came across this Cuban T-34 equipped with a 100mm KS-19 anti-aircraft gun. Now I'm off to find some T-34 & KS-19 model kits :P
There is a T-34 in there somewhere:

The second (or third) greatest army in Ukraine is scratching its goat beard and going "hmmm"
It was from 1943 and was an attempt to develop protection from new types of enemy shells, including HEAT. You can see more details and photos here:
