Tank graveyardThe term tank graveyard or tank cemetery refers to an area containing a number of derelict armored vehicles, generally as a result of warfare. While they often are only a last resting place for destroyed, broken down or outdated equipment, tank graveyards can be a source of parts to produce new or restored vehicles. Ukraine has for instance been able to field hundreds of new tanks to fight in the Russo-Ukrainian War by cannibalizing those sitting in graveyards since the Soviet era.[1] Notable tank graveyards
