To date, we’ve documented some of the world’s most impressive abandoned tanks and armoured fighting vehicle graveyards in a series of in-depth features on Urban Ghosts (you can explore them in more detail below). This article brings you a few more, the location and purpose of which we are not entirely certain.

Urban exploration outfit FFUrbex Fotografie snapped these abandoned tanks in a field in Europe. Their mighty hulks have slowly rusted down with time, and the old tanks appear to have stood quietly in this undisclosed location for a long time.

Despite clear signs of corrosion brought on by decades of idleness, the derelict fighting vehicles appear to be largely intact. But small areas of graffiti suggest that they are accessible to vandals and – wherever they may be – that their presence is well known locally.

The rurex photographs reveal the presence of at least four abandoned tanks, standing in an expansive field surrounded by forest. The land they occupy looks to be well kept, and round hay bales in the background suggest that this is agricultural land rather than a military firing range.
Perhaps the military and farmers coexist side by side. Or maybe these rusting tank carcasses are the leftovers of an abandoned bombing range that has now closed to military activities, but where the relics of the past linger on.
