You don't understand! Seeing something like that for Vympel is like someone coming over to your house and Raping your sister, ransacking your bedroom, and dressing your dog in a leotard and stringing him up like a marionette, and making him do the Riverdance, with a live webcast on the Yahoo front page.

Well, you're legally allowed to drive tanks on british roads...I presume it's a private one that some guy thought it would be funny to paint pink.
I think i should track it down with a sandblaster and peel all that paint off.

SQUID!
Thanks to the Navy I always notice when people don't use primer before painting, especially when painting metal. Stay in a little bit longer and you'll be notice that they didn't prep the metal by grinding, sanding or needle gunning anything.
The bastards.
As for the color itself. I believe "
pinko" is the term.

I'm surprise no one in all these decades decided to refurbish the vehicle and drive around town in it.
Will require a large sum of money but hey it would be cool.

Because the weirdos who painted it were female?

Little did HAB know, the main gun was replaced by a high-pressure pink paint hose, and was very much active as they prepared to march.

Yeah, and if you don't stop with the Tank Vs. Mecha threads,
we'll start on the IS-3! I couldn't resist.

You can do the same on US roads, and those of a number of other countries, though there are generally weight limits, which rule out most modern tanks.

*Twitches* The honourable - no honorable fuck the British and their proper English, they let this abmination exist. The only honorable way for an T-34 to die is on the plains of the Motherland running over Fascist monsters and Capitalist pigs. Occassionally they'll l.ose the good fight and die via Panzer Aces who rack up fifty kills in a month. Not like this. I've done my rant.

We need to needle gun that tank and set it up in the colours of the 8th Guards
Shock Army...after killing the bitches responsible for this atrocity.

It was an atrocity to let that poor little tank to rust in the first place...

Only if you have the guns deactivated. Which is a shame.
