Judging by the fact that the contract period expires on May 12, the tanks will undergo maintenance both before and during, and possibly after the parade. Before the victory parade, each T-34 will receive two maintenance sessions with a total duration of 26 hours. The tank is not new and requires a lot of specialist attention.
The one area in which the T-34 cannot compete with modern cars is its tendency to breakage. The latter, however, is well familiar to owners of Soviet and Russian cars, who use it, along with duct tape, to support and adjust everything that was poorly fastened at the plant, without affecting the ability to move. Only two stand out – Konstalin grease and galvanized wire. The parts in question are almost the same as those of a conventional car: fuses, light bulbs and exhaust valve seals. The T-34 tank: 80 years old and still spoiling for a fight The consumables cost for the maintenance of a T-34 is only 2,926 rubles. Cheaper spare partsīut the Mercedes car hopelessly loses out to the T-34 when it comes to spare parts. One standard hour of maintenance costs 8,106 rubles (just over $100).įor comparison, one standard hour at an authorized dealer of relatively inexpensive cars such as Nissan or Opel in Russia costs close to 2,000 rubles, while the maintenance of a Mercedes is only two times cheaper than of a T-34. This money will be sufficient to prepare 12 tanks. More expensive than a Mercedes?Īccording to the notice, the military plans to spend 2.5 million rubles ($33,000) on the preparation of T-34 tanks for the parade. The year 2016 has hardly begun, but the Russian Defense Ministry has already placed information on the procurement of services for the repair of the T-34. The Russian military are preparing for this show thoroughly and well in advance. Victory Day on May 9 is one of the most important national holidays in Russia, and a major opportunity for the national military department to show its equipment in all its splendor to the country and foreigners.
