In Vietnam, the transportation of the turret from the T-34-85 tank was captured. Her placement on a truck sparked interest from a number of local observers.. Some of them completely unreasonably suggested, that this photo fact may indicate attempts to create a new self-propelled guns with a Soviet tank gun.
As VietDefense explains, a freshly painted tower could be used for completely different purposes. The thing is, that the warhead T-34-85, like the cars themselves, continues to be used by the Vietnamese army.
These obsolete WWII tanks are still in use on the Spratly Islands., their 85mm gun still provides ample firepower, suitable for combating enemy landing craft and small craft

As indicated, towers, acting as stationary firing points, equipped with concrete bunkers.
In addition to the tank towers themselves, there are still whole T-34-85s on the islands, which can be transferred to pre-prepared defensive positions
– explained on the resource..
In this capacity, they already act as mobile firing points.. Recall, that Azerbaijani T-55s played a similar role during the last military confrontation in the Donbass.
