Driving and Firing T34-85 WW2 Tank

Wrestling with the controls, cramped, hot and dusty then firing a couple of blank 85mm rounds - yes this still has a live main armament !. Massive thanks to Luke Woods for the turret firing clip and of course the legendary John Dale for letting us drive. See this tank and more in action at the Capel military show.

Bro this is fucking awesome

[@novaexplosion3273]

Gotta love the clattering of the tracks on these tanks.

[@lol-un6nl]

the clattering is the sound of the track pins being smacked back into position every time it passes the idler wheel

[@HANKTHEDANKEST]

Those lads in the Adidas appeared from the weeds at the sight, sound and smell of a running T-34. Pure Gopnik bait.

[@MaverickAuto-Pete]

Would like to of seen the outside of it firing

[@FEDERALSIGNALTECH]

Me too .

[@TheJimyyy]

Itdont really fire , they use blank shell whit a lot less propelant than a live rounds it just make smoke going out the gun

[@kevinryan3012]

8 of the road wheels are the post WW2 version.

[@KemoTherapy69]

URAA!

[@nemo5335]

that seems way easier to reload than i thought it would be.
also i have to wonder if it could still punch some plate armor. THAT would be fun to see. just get a big slab of the thickest steel you can find or a dead tank and see what it does.

[@FEDERALSIGNALTECH]

What's the top speed of the tank?

[@leangutierrez]

55 km / h

[@FEDERALSIGNALTECH]

That would be 34 MPH. WOW THAT'S SLOW IF I HAD ONE I'D PUT A TURBO INTO THE ENGINE AND MAKE IT GO FAST LIKE 85 MPH .

[@the_earlybirf1170]

Depends on if you can even get to 3rd gear

[@the_earlybirf1170]

@Not_Ambrose yes but even then the 5th gear ones are very rare and still don't get close to the actual speed

[@ManteIIo]

Average price on properly working and running T34 tank is between 15-20k usd as it's most produced tank ever. Also Czechoslovakia/Poland and China built them up to 1960s, but then there are some big rarities, that actually could fetch up to a million.

Not a WW2 T34 that's a post war model

[@dansubaru]

It was made in 1944 (during WW2) then used in the Bosnian conflict. It may have a few modern road wheels but that's what happens trying to keep a 79 year old monster running.
