Description
At the intersection of the Sredne-Vyborg highway and the road connecting Kirillovskoye with Kamenka, in the Vyborg district of the Leningrad region, a special historical symbol stands out - the T-80 memorial tank. This monument to military equipment is one of several exhibits located in the village of Kamenka, where the 138th Guards Krasnoselskaya Order of Lenin and the Red Banner Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade are stationed.
The placement of the memorial tank and other examples of military equipment, such as the MTLB and UR-77, represents not only a tribute to history and military prowess, but also a reminder of the strategic importance of this region. The location of the village of Kamenka, nestled into the landscape of the Karelian forests and located halfway between St. Petersburg and Vyborg, makes it a significant point for studying the history of the region and the military history of Russia as a whole.
These memorial sites serve not only as reminders of the past, but also as a beacon to draw the attention of travelers and tourists to the history and heritage of the area, enriching their understanding of the importance of military history and its influence on shaping the modern landscape.
