The Czech, Slovak, Hungarian and Polish militaries are clearing out their stocks of Soviet-era tanks to make way for NATO replacements. Mortar Investments, a Prague-based dealer, have bought the large array of used military vehicles to onsell, which means your dream could become a reality.

Just over $64,000 will net you a main battle tank T-72, which is still used in its modernised version today. But if that’s over your budget, there are cheaper options, like a 2S1 Gvozdika (which can swim) for around $28,500.

Mortar Investments’ Vojtech Svoboda told WIRED that “the things were purchased ridiculously cheap from the army, especially if one knew the right people.” Indeed.

A detailed outline of the payment and takeover schedule can be found here, but in short you’ll need a 30 per cent deposit, and you shouldn’t expect to have your tank by next weekend. You’ll need an Australian International Import Certificate which can take 10 weeks to finalise, and Mortar Investments told News.com.au you’ll likely be paying over $50,000 for shipping.

Before your tank arrives the dealer will ensure everything is in working order and splash on a fresh coat of paint for an extra fee. But for some interested buyers, this might be the deal breaker: Your tank won’t be sent over until the machine guns are stripped out and a hole is cut in the cannon.
