About this vehicle

A Soviet tank destroyer was ordered to eternal watch on the border of an impenetrable forest—an ominous reminder to anyone who dares break the peace of the age-old oaks with the sound of an ax or rifle salvo. Those who come in peace will find a canopy of green leaves and spring water; those with ill intentions will endure eternal oblivion among the marshy swamps guarded by this forest spirit. And who knows what other trophies will adorn its branching horns.
