Rusting tanks

Bet the Ukrainian Army wished they had maintained these.

Do they still have their nukes from when the USSR split?

The US was overseeing the destruction of the nukes but I'm not sure if they finished yet. They also had quite a fleet of nuclear bombers that remained unserviced and will never fly again. I wonder how many of those tanks will make it into collectors hands?

No. The Ukranians divested themselves of their boomers as quickly as they could after independance from the Soviet Union.

Wow Clive..amazing! thanks for the post.. I bet there are at least a few well-healed collectors in the US, perhaps elsewhere, that would love to get one of those beasts

No, they traded them away for Crimea. Now Russia wants that back too, hence the trouble.
