Tank Crossing the Road: GTA Russian Edition

Why did the tank cross the road? Why, to get to the other side of course. We've searched long and hard to see if there was a law that allowed tank drivers to ignore 'give way' signs. But, there isn't, and that's because tank shouldn't be driven on public roads in the first place, not unless there's a war going on.
The only way to really explain this strange sighting on Russia's roads is by quoting statistics. In Russia, one in five male deaths is caused by drink. That statistic is probably much worse in the famously violent Russian army.

If we didn't know better, we'd say the tank's operator is driving it like he stole it. It's like the Russian edition of Grand Theft Auto, and he's being chased around by the police in attack helicopters.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
