I first heard about this around 17-18 years ago. Apparently as part of the breakup of the USSR and subsequent disarmament they had to destroy a huge number of tanks, so many that their factories simply weren't up to the job.
To placate the inspectors, they drove them into isolated forests, took out a couple of vital components (little better than pocketing the keys so to speak) and walked away. I'm guessing these T-80s are one of the "dumps".

another "Look at this" item
I was Google-mapping central Maryland, near Thurmont, when I found a large manicured lawn-like area in the Catoctin Mtn Park. The odd thing is that this lawn has a worn area that looks suspiciously like the footprint of a large helicopter. Hmmmm.... Camp Shangri-La, anyone?

found this blog that has lots of interesting Google Earth finds, and, just as impressively, an intelligent analysis of what they all add up to. I have a feeling several days are about to be wasted...

Where are they in relation to Georgia or Ukraine? If they are close then they are a hidden reserve or a localy known reserve to give a little bit of political incentive.
