You are going to need a hell of a trailer to get those home.

I like big trucks and I cannot lie, you other brothers can't deny...

I would imagine that US recylers would dealy love to get a few of those. Engines and trannys alone would be worth big bucks. And, yeah, scrap iron is going for quite a bit now. Yup, millions of Rubles rusting away.

I once got a tour of the gypsum / calsite mine in Rogers City (MI) - Got to ride in one of those trucks.

There's nothing in those pics to show how huge those things are - The tires are about 10' in diameter.

They probably are worth scrap prices anyway, those need some serious maintenance to keep running.

no idea where these are , but I bet if you wanted them running a good bunch of mechanics could do that....

but how Russia is right now they will probably just sit and not get sold to a third world country who might use them....

the rich in Russia are so rich selling off oil, diamonds etc that before was owned by the State,

It helps to have friends in high places to make all their friends super rich.....
