Passed this beast on the highway today. Other than it being a tank, and "looking" Russian to me I had no clue what it was. Web search leads me to think it is an IS-3?

I thought about trying to get him to stop so I could check the fuel tank for gold bars...

Probably being delivered to some rich guy's survival bunker.

The delivery driver took a wrong turn apparently. I'm positive that thing belongs in my garage.

And if you buy it TODAY, you can get the extended warranty paint protection for only $250.

I had to look up an IS-3 but the turret looks different.

It does look Soviet thought.

ETA: The wiki page has a pic of an IS-2 at the top so I was looking at the wrong picture.

The pointed hull is definitely an IS-3. Either its a museum piece or some richy-rich dude has an awesome NOS toy.

It's a Joseph Stalin tank (had a model of it when I was a kid) They developed this right after the war I believe this was Russia's main battle tank during the early to mid 50's

Looks a lot like the IS-3 that used to belong to Jacques Littlefield.

Maybe it's heading to the Collings museum in MA.

Rumor is that he has fully functional NFA MGs despite being prohibited by WA law.

It was eastbound I-80, just heading into Parley's Canyon. I felt bad for the driver, he hadn't even got close to where it starts getting steep and the best he could do is about 45 mph. He had his work cut out for him to get that thing over the summit.

I think there's a guy out in Tooele that has a bunch of tanks.  There was a TV show on a few years ago where a guy was restoring them.

Meh, Russians, Mormons, meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Maybe they'll relax the drinking laws a bit.

I've heard enough to believe that it's not a rumor (I'm in the museum field) but who's going to arrest or bring charges against a billionaire? Especially one that is very cozy with all the movers and shakers in our corrupt ass state.

Laws only apply to lowly peons not the Gates, Allen's, and Bezos.

That's not Russian.  It's a UN tank.  Probably one of the thousands the UN stored in the desert.  This one is on the way to the depot for refurbishment.
