Description: A group of Mushroom connoisseurs went out hunting for the tasty little devils in Russian last week. What they found was something much, much more intriguing. These photos show a huge abandoned Russian...Add Comments14
Shane GardnerDec 12, 2011 This is hardly a surplus of military hardware or stockpiling. This is what happens when a country falls. They have records of Soviet outposts to outright military bases ending up like this. Left where they found it because the paychecks stopped.
Reid HuffOct 23, 2011 The chances of war with china and Russia are slim to none. So stop talking about it nobody wants a war we would both lose people who cars who wins because we lose in the end with the loss of soldiers
Kolby HurtOct 23, 2011 There are (or were) plenty of old vehicles like this near the old Chernobyl site. Instead of using money to dispose of them, if im not mistaken, they just dumped them in the woods because surely nobody would be dumb enough to go anywhere Chernobyl.
Patrick SchalkOct 23, 2011 Yeah but Ed, 1 American can take on 30 Chinamen. I'm not worried.
Tyson BroadbentOct 22, 2011 Haha, it's funny when you put it that way! I just hope if Russia invades the US will help in Canadians!
No PistonsOct 22, 2011 A few well placed bombs in their overpopulated areas will even out the numbers lol
Andrew PotterOct 22, 2011 Could these vehicles be radioactive contaminated from Chernobyl? hence why they're abandoned in a forest?
Ken MadisonOct 22, 2011 No pistons is completely correct. That's why anyone with a military background knows china is no threat.
No PistonsOct 22, 2011 Tech is what wins, why send 20 men when you can send 2-3 unmanned drones that can take out 50 men each. Why match the number of tanks the enemy has when you can wipe out their convey with one stealth bomber pass. Our technology is unmatched
Ken MadisonOct 22, 2011 We stock pile like this too. We actually probably have more. We actually keep our surplus yards like this in working order though.
Andy KleschickOct 22, 2011 this really really scares me if a world war three were to happen. sure american weaponry and technology is better right now, but it worries me that russia has this much weaponry.
Ken MadisonOct 22, 2011 Maybe even millions of vehicles/planes/tanks they could afford to maintain or use....
Ken MadisonOct 22, 2011 Every country does this. It's called long term reserve storage.... Russia just has a lot of it because they decided to mess with us and we financially wrecked them in the cold war, leaving them with hundreds of thousands,
Description: The vehicles must have been from many years ago since you can clearly see mold and fungi growing on the windshield wipers of many of these vehicles. What is a bit disturbing is that some of these giga...Add Comments2
Cillian BurkeJan 24, 2013 Wouldn't mind finding a few of those myself
Clayton CorleyDec 28, 2011 For an AR I guess I would say bushmaster ACR or Steyr AUG
Shane GardnerDec 12, 2011 Silly...AK is hardly the best rifle. Sub-par at best. But they where built to last and sold to all sorts of different nations. Accuracy and fire power is what makes a rifle good.
Tyson BroadbentOct 23, 2011 Nah, dont agree with that. It is reliable and easily repaired, but it is certainly not the best.
Nick MitchellOct 22, 2011 The AK is ôñê of the best assault rifles that is out there
Ken MadisonOct 22, 2011 Russians build their crap sturdy. Different mind set. They're guns, machinery, and planes are supposed to work as well in "poor" conditions as in good conditions.
That's why their planes landing gear is so robust.
Didn't work out like planned.
Kenneth WilliamsOct 22, 2011 Twighlight zone. I would've took one pic and gladly went the other way. Kinda freaky to find this randomly in the woods but then again. It is russia
Dennis RechOct 22, 2011 Probably because they are 10-ply heavy duty steel belted tires. Tend to be fairly puncture resistant. Add to that the fact that in the trees they don't get much direct sunlight which ruins rubber faster. Some great offroad equipment here.
Dexter CorderoOct 22, 2011 How come the tires are still inflated after sitting for so long, unused, and supposedly neglected...
Callum MckayOct 23, 2011 Cant imagine thatd be too fun to drive, probably goes along way tho
Shane HeidOct 23, 2011 Yes we wrecked the soviets, they couldn't financially keep up
With our weapons production and drove themselves to bankruptcy trying
Adam PageOct 22, 2011 I'm sure the fuel is no good either...
Anthony NoonOct 22, 2011 That an I'm sure there aren't any working batteries.
Ken MadisonOct 22, 2011 I talked about that on the first post Ed. They put their stuff into long term storage after we wrecked them, then just couldn't afford to maintain it.
Ken MadisonOct 22, 2011 I'd believe it would start.
When we do this, we make sure anything in the storage yard can be operational within 48 hours if not immediately.
Kenneth WilliamsOct 22, 2011 Yea but take into account how long it's been sitting untouched in the elements, I don't think it'll just start up and run like clockwork
Vince DeMasiOct 22, 2011 It's military equipment it tends to hold up a little better than our vehicles
Michael RileyOct 22, 2011 I'd like to see them try and start that.
Riley GonzalesOct 22, 2011 that does not look like working condition

Highly technical terminology there (people-moving trucks) lol.
