OT-34 (T-34 with flamethrower) in founded and recovered from one of Pskov area swamp, near Batovo village. Tank in good condition, in principal, can be restored in driving condition. As i can see, it's 1943 production tank with commander's turret.

Same tank, also recovered from swamp and restored:

Hi Taranov! Hi Folks!

Super! I am starting to like swamps! Looks like they do a good job of protecting old tanks for today's displays!

Why did they change the road wheels? Is that what they mean when the photo caption states that the tank received "new wings and tracks"? Shocked

Old wings is rusted, trucks, maybe, damaged.
