H.P.

I saw a clip on YouTube about it I think, the write up said it was for initial ferrying high profile VIPs to underground bunkers from the cold war ? Not sure how reliable that is as I never watched the clip… ??

I thought a rare Soviet tank is one that hasn’t become a tinder box yet.

It’s a command vehicle.

Not any more it ain’t! Given its role, I wonder if some important officers went with it? Might have a disproportionate effect on Russian actions for a while…

It would seem there is much to consider that thought process, to be quite an accurate observation … :wink:
