Pity for the reason behind its use, but very impressive that its operating. Now they will be wanting to find ammo for it.

Totally agree.
I remember a vid where some guys started the engine of a T-34-76 which was just recovered from a swamp

i do not like the sound. a lot of friction and such.
must be a lot of work to over haul it to a degree that it can properly perform under its own power.
and then the turret, the controls, the firing system, the gun checks, the ammo...
and the fuel?!
