200 Russian tanks found abandoned in forest
About 200 modern Russian tanks have been discovered abandoned on the side of a road in the country's Ural mountains.
Local people clambered over some of the unlocked and unguarded T-80 tanks that were parked in long rows in Kamishlovsk, about 100 km from the Ural city of Yekaterinburg. Russian military prosecutors are probing how the tanks, Russia's main battle tank, came to be left in such a situation.
Russia is currently streamlining its massive military, with some commanders recently quoted in the Russian media as saying they only require half of the country's 20,000 tanks.
