    What tank is that in the foreground? I would guess it was a T-34 variant, but he turret is unknown to me. Picture taken from the Manchurian campaign. :lol:

    It could just be a T-34/85 with some sort of camo netting or anti-HEAT warhead wire on the turret...

    It has every characteristic of a T-34/85, down to the bulging turret and the mantlet outcropping where the gun is fitted. I think the distorted turret top is just camouflage material or some sort of additional protection, like Ricky suggested.

    i agree it has to be a t34/85 due to the distinctive bulge
