Tank Museum in Latvia
There have been many posts on the tank threads, however, I will build another.
Post dedicated to visit the private museum of the tank that is located in Latvia, near the glorious and beautiful city of Daugavpils, in the town called the Svente.
Looking ahead, I will say that all the equipment in perfect condition (restored almost like a plant) and on the move, not weapons "strelyatelnom" state, because that's the law.
Will be 33 photos.
