Difficult first start after deep storage, 1944 T-34-85. The monster 38 litre V12 diesel eventually roars into life. See this tank in action at the Capel Military Show. Please subscribe as I have more tank videos on the way..

Com: Stece mercure : It was awesome to hear the engine catch and come to life. The more it was run the smoother and tighter it sounded. I'm no expert but to my ears that sounded great!

Com: John locket: Barn find LOL. Yea right, like the guy just had a couple of tanks just lying around his barn for no reason. Obviously he was collector of military stuff.

Com: Ricky ricardo : After the initial EMP attack on the major countries, which will be the prelude to the nuclear strikes on the Cities, these types of machines will be left, and pretty much, only Farmers will be able to operate them..

Com: Marshall courtis: That T34 is a classic you got there! It's the tank that saved the Soviet Union during "The Great Patriotic War" (WWII).

It was famous for it's innovative sloped armor that allowed it to survive hits from German Panzer shells without extreme heavyweight armor that German tanks had, which ate more fuel, and made them less nimble.

Also, the T34s were comparatively easy to build, compared to the German tanks. The Panzers could kill several T34s for every one Panzer knocked out. But the Red Army tanks just kept coming, and coming, with more and more of them.

Hitler was shocked to learn that the USSR made over 50,000 of them during the course of the war.
