(Größe angepasst: 708x1062px, jpeg)- A Russian T-90A tank has been spotted at a Louisiana
truck stop having been captured by Ukrainian forces
and subsequently brought to the U.S.
A shipping label displayed on the side of the barrel of the main gun reveals the battle tank may have come
from Gdynia, Poland, by an organization called the
'multinational assessment field team'.
The unusual sight of a tank parked at a truck stop caught
the eye of people driving by Peto's Travel
Center and Casino in Roanoke, Louisiana.
The machine may be headed to the US Army Aberdeen Test Center
(ATC) in Maryland where it may
be subjected to weapons testing or possibly used in a
training exercise with troops.
The tank was being hauled when the transmission on the truck carrying the war machine went out.
The driver had to go to Houston to get a new vehicle and
asked the owners Peto's if he could store the tank there until he returned, reports

A shipping label on the gun, seen far left, shows that the tank
was sent by a group called the 'multinational assessment field team' from Gdynia, Poland, to Beaumont,

It is believed the tank might be used for destructive testing or to
familiarize U.S.
troops with foreign equipment

The tank's numerous machine guns have also been removed and
it appears to lack some Western fire control components that other T-90As have been equipped with

This is believed to be the very same tank pictured
on the battlefield in Ukraine, last September
The tank, believed to have been constructed
in 2004, is thought to have been captured by Ukraine's 92nd Separate Mechanized Brigade from Russian troops in Kharkiv, last September.
The Russian soldiers who abandoned the tank were with the 27th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade, 1st Guards Tank Army.
Photos taken at the truck stop show it complete with damaged front
and rear fenders and some explosive reactive armor (ERA) containers on the turret.
Its numerous machine guns have also been removed and it appears to lack some Western fire control components that other T-90As on the battlefield have been equipped with.
Although the shipping label gives some indication as to the tank's origin and destination, several questions still remain including how it
was brought Best Place
To Buy Ultram Online Reviews the U.S.
and what it will be used for once it reaches ATC.
'ATC is the Defense Department's lead agency for land-combat, direct-fire,
and live-fire vulnerability testing,' according to
'ATC is a multi-purpose test center with diverse capabilities.
It has become a world-class testing, training, modeling,
simulation, and experimentation facility that gives American Warfighters superior materiel
and technology.'
The tank will more than likely be examined by the U.S.
military in order to gain information on foreign equipment through a
hands-on study, including insights into its capabilities and vulnerabilities
through reverse engineering.

According to the tank was left unattended at the truck stop for several days
sparking worries it might have been tampered with or that any sensitive information contained might have been compromised.
The trucking company transporting the tank has also not given any further information with Army officials also yet
to provide comment.
Earlier this month a leaked trove of US intelligence documents gave the clearest answer to date about the state of the
Ukrainian and Russian armies.
Overall, Russia has lost more men and more firepower than the
Ukrainians, the documents show, but its losses are nowhere near
as devastating as many in the West had been led to believe - with less than two Russian casualties for every one Ukrainian.
Russia has lost some 2,000 tanks since the start of the war and Cheap
Tramadol Online No Prescription now has less
than 500 on the battlefield - a devastating blow for what
was once the world's largest tank army, and which could take decades
to rebuild.
The documents also appear to confirm Putin's manpower problem is as bad - and perhaps worse - than expected, with more than 90 per cent of his combat formations committed to Ukraine.
