A buried Soviet tank T-34 was found in Holon during construction
The workers who were digging the foundation pit for the house on Merkava Street in the Holon industrial zone were greatly surprised to find a large metal object under the layer of soil.

Sappers and police officers were called to the place where this item was found.

When the discovery was excavated, it turned out that it turned out to be a Soviet T-34 tank without a turret and caterpillars.

Tankswhich gained fame during the Second World War, were actively supplied by the Soviet Union to Arab countries and took part in the wars of 1956, 1967 and 1973.

In particular, more than 400 “Thirty-Fours” of various modifications were on the eve of the Doomsday War in service with the Egyptian army and around 200 tanks in service with the Syrian army. 12-th tanks were also owned by the Lebanese al-Marabitun grouping funded by Egypt.

Around 300 T-34 were captured by the IDF (most of them during the Six Day War), and even took part in Israeli military parades as trophies. Some tanks were transferred to museums (including the Museum of Tank Forces in Latrun) or sold abroad, but most were used as targets at landfills.

How exactly the Thirty-Four came into Holon is currently unknown.

                  I’m already tired of explaining that I don’t follow the rating, since these games in the lightning are not interesting to me. Please contact the administration with this question, let them explain the whole system to you or check from my comments for what I am being plus and for what they are minus.

                  For example, I add to it, as far as the site engine allows. And that already got enough, the Professor writes the post "but the water is wet", and after 15 minutes above the post "-10" flaunts.
                  I think many do as well. Out of a sense of contradiction.

                    I wonder why he is so disliked? After all, it didn’t arise from scratch, right? For the truth, no one will minus.
                    "in 15 minutes above the post" -10 "flaunts" - this means that 10 people gave him a minus. But when the user has -2500 in the evening, and +1000 in the morning, it inspires thought, doesn't it?
                    Or do you think that people who do not love the truth "minus it only during the day, and those who rate it" out of a sense of contradiction "only at night? Do you see for yourself that something is wrong here?

                        Of course. Here many people have the flag of the USSR, this of course also says something, but more about nostalgia ... And during the conversation I’m more interested in what and how a person says. A lot of our compatriots, for various reasons, were outside the country, for various reasons, and I can not blame them for this.
                        "Egoza" under "zhovto-blakitny" is more Russian than many under the "tricolor" and when you talk to her, what are you looking at the flag first of all?

      It all depends on the condition. However, judging by the photo, the condition there is very poor. However, much more depends on its history and on the authorities of the city. There is quite a chance that they will leave it as an exhibit or monument.

          When you visit the Latrun Museum, we will look at the monument to the "Tankmen of the Allied Armies". There are T-34, Sherman and Churchill on the pedestal. The fact is that it turned out that the Jews, in%, served most of all in the BTV of the anti-Hitler coalition. Why? I know. request Here is such a strange fact.

        There was no T-73 among the armored vehicles captured by the Israelis in 34. Mostly T-54 / 55 and a bit of T-62.

          But seriously, then
          Before the so-called “Doomsday War”, which began on October 6 of 1973, Egypt had more than 400 “thirty-four” in service with Egypt, 240 of these tanks were in the Syrian army, and Al-Marabitun, a Lebanese group, also had 12 tanks.

    The solution to the tank was found. It turned out that this tank was captured in Lebanon during the first Lebanese war and was delivered to the south of Israel. Then they decided to transport him to the center of the country, as if to make a monument out of him. The transportation was entrusted to the reservists, and just at that time the base commander changed and the reservists decided to take advantage of the "change of power" and sell the tank for scrap. They brought the tank to the center of the country, but as the military police began to investigate the disappearance of the tank, the reservists got scared and buried the tank until better times ...

      I almost guessed it, they buried the authorities out of sight. In Ekibas, in the 70s and 80s, they built GRES-1. For the construction of the station, due to some mistake, equipment (from the turbine generator to the last pump) was brought to 9 power units, and only 8 were going to build it. will cost. This place later got the name - "Kursk Bulge". Then, for 15-20 years, they found the necessary spare parts for repairing the station. If you need to buy (order) something, you first searched for it on the Kursk Bulge.

    -essentially
    -Also everyone should know - if you lie on a beach somewhere in Eilat and find T-34 in the sand, then the ancient Philistines / Palestinians / hid it. If you found the T-55 in the sand, then be sure that it is Persian. The Persians hid it before their departure from Yerushalaim after taking it / 612g.
    Also, until better times. In Persian economy, everything is suitable lol
    but in general, what current you will not find there! in the sands of Palestinian belay
