This is one of the ones embedded on the Bulgarian Border & facing Turkey.
There are also pz.IV's still emplaced there, the vehicles are decommisioned and a bit rotten but technically still in service until 2015...
There is talk of some panthers there too (possibly gifts from the Soviets in '45) though no pictures of them seem to have emerged. This could possibly be due to them still being servicable military installations and thus still classified, but equally possibly down to non-existence.

I've been interested in these Bulgarian relics for a while as they even seem to have slipped through the net for Neil Short's otherwise comprehensive book (edit: sorry, repeating myself)... makes me wonder what else is still out there...




Cheers,
Adam.
