In Soviet Russia, Tanks Clear the Roads of Snow

As America and Russia stared off during the Cold War, the two sides amassed huge stockpiles of weapons of all sorts – tanks, planes, buns and enough nuclear missiles to destroy the world a few times over.
Most o that stuff is useless now and has had to be destroyed or old for as scrap, but Russia's once mighty tanks still prove their use.

During winter time, tanks are used to clear Russia's clogged roads of snow bans that would have been impossible for regular trucks. The juggernauts seen here are roaming in packs, pushing mountains of snow to one side.

To us, these look like engineering tanks that are used by the army to clear pats, bridge rivers and clear paths through forests, not full on fighting machines.
