For good, they'll be placed in the new "Modern era" part of the exposition (along with the Merk I) - I hope they'll kick the M48A5 back in order, its propulsion sounded pretty bad yesterday and it was unable to negotiate anything but the shallowest slope. Same with the Centurion they have there - also engine trouble.
Anyway, when the T-72M4 and those three tanks were in the arena all at once, it was pretty impressive and the ground really trembled a bit under them. And then, in a final solo, the T-72 driver got a bit "wild" - kicked up really lots of dust.

By the way, here is a link to gallery from an earlier event I forgot to report here - this spring, Anti-Aircraft day.

And here are the pics from the Demarcation Line museum in Rokycany:

If you want to see any of the locations (can recommend both, but esp. the tank museum where the initial pics were taken), come over here during the summer and let me kow, may act as a guide
