Cemetery of military equipment in Eritrea
A very interesting place, in my opinion - one of the best in Eritrea. Such an apothez of war. In one pile on the outskirts of the city piled lined, captured and inherited the Ethiopian military equipment. It turned out a kind of open-air museum.
Despite the fact that the place is called a cemetery tanks, there are not so many tanks here. More trucks and other “serving” cars, but the scale is impressive. It is interesting that, it seems, quite working cars (as far as one can judge by whole bodies) also got here. What is serving well in other African countries, I'm not talking about Russia, it turned out to be a dump. Apparently, it was more profitable for someone to have these mountains of mangled cars (maybe to attract attention) than to restore vehicles still suitable for operation.
At the entrance to the cemetery.
Inside there are neat "streets" between walls of twisted bodies.
Technique mainly Soviet production. On this account, several times I heard that “we treat the Russians well, despite the fact that you supplied weapons Ethiopian army. By the way, the Eritrean army also acquired weapons in Russia (partly in Ukraine, but in many third world countries the republics of the USSR will be associated with Russia for a long time). Considering that military actions were going on at the beginning of 90, I suppose that a substantial part of the supplied was not paid for in the budget. Arming both armies, training specialists, and according to some data, having taken direct part in destructive military operations, Russia cynically sent humanitarian aid to both sides of the conflict. Such were the times.
Machines neatly laid out by brand. UAZ-469 separately.
UAZ-452 "Loaf" separately.
Western technology is also found. Land Rovers.
Dropped Boeing.
And the ladder.
Written off buses to the pile.
Antiaircraft gun.
And, of course, tanks.
Armored personnel carriers.
Tank in cacti.
Throughout the territory here and there containers are found. Shoot them for an unclear reason banned. There is an assumption that they had to take out scrap metal, and, possibly, the surviving parts.
People live in the cemetery. They explained to us that they were refugees. Someone fenced his plot.
Someone huddles in an old railway carriage.
Life is in full swing here. Drying linen.
Primus repair
Cleaning.
