Thats a T-34, Russia's most well-known tank from WW2. Most likely an attempt to bolster in the public perception a link between the current war and 'The Great Patriot War against Nazism' which the T-34 was primarily used for. As to why there was only one tank, ya, the rest are prolly being made ready or kept ready for battle. Not many T-34s in running condition anymore, much less in condition for a national parade. Adding a bunch of different tanks would detract from the propaganda value of the T-34. I think it was to make a statement. Possibly something along the lines of 'Russia needs you to help fight the Nazis in Ukraine, this poor little T-34 cant do it alone!' or something like that.
My money is on propaganda value regarding the use of only one T-34 tank. Too bad that the tank did not have an engine failure right in the middle of Bolshevik Square. Of course Adolf Putin would have blamed Ukrainians for the tank engine failure. Ironically many of the tanks used by the Red Army during WWII were built in Kharkiv Ukraine.
Speaking of WWII tanks and Adolf Putin as other Russian dictators before him claim that SOVIETS almost single handedly beat the NAZI Germanians in WWII. see what I found…. “ The Soviets were supplied with around 7000 US tanks and a further 5200 British vehicles. This also provided huge numbers of other vehicles including railway locomotives, trucks and aircraft. The Soviet Union used the diesel powered M4A2 Sherman.”.. I have always said that we gave the Bolshevik Bastards way too much help during WWII.
