DESTROY THE TANK

This past summer our team had a far-fetched idea of getting a Russian tank…then cutting it into pieces and selling those pieces to raise money for Ukrainian families. There is something very symbolic about taking a brutal instrument of war, a hunk of metal that came to kill Ukrainian families, and recycling it as a way to support those families. After almost 4 months of dead-ends, 100+ phone calls, countless hours of work,  and an endless stream of failures, we realized it was essentially impossible to accomplish our goal. But the team in Ukraine, led by Diana Podolianchuk, just absolutely refused to give up…In late October we received the long awaited message…

WE GOT A RUSSIAN TANK!

This particular tank, a T80BVM, the newest in the T80 series and the pride of Russian military, was paraded in Moscow, then attacked Ukraine from Belgorod on the Eastern front early in the full-scale war. It was stopped around Kharkiv with a Javelin by the heroic Ukrainian brigade Kraken.

You can check out our tank on the Oryx project. T-80BVM, (15, destroyed)
