T-34 and variants, all around the world
GTX_Admin:
Random idea: The T-34 can trace its heritage back to the BT series of fast tanks. One of the intermediary steps was the A-20. This, lhad an 8×6-wheel convertible drive similar to the BT tank's 8×2, which allowed it to run on wheels without tracks.
Above: BT-2 tank rigged for road movement without tracks.
Above from left: BT-7, A-20 fast tank prototype, T-34 Model 1940, T-34 Model 1941.
eventually this feature was dropped before we got to the T-34. But what if it hadn't and thus we had T-34s also able to run on just wheels rather than tracks?

Interesting. Appears to be a turret less lash up. Any other images or details?
Story:
Per google, "No other sizes of this image found".
It looks to me like an early T-34 ARV with the 14.5mm on the back deck where the cargo/parts/tools box usually sits.

GTX_Admin:
I'm wondering if it's actually a Su-100 with the lash up gun on the back deck. From the angle shown it might look like a T-34:
It also looks like a ZPU-1 on the rear:
Both would have been potentially available in Lebanon in 1982 too. As for kits, there's a few Su-100s around in 1/35 along with ZPU-1s.
