Russian tank left on the Island of Sokotra, belonging to Yemen. A place I dream to visit one day as it is so amazing. I dont know why they needed a tank on an island but it appears Sokotra was used as a communication hub to send out missives to African countries on the benefits of Communism, spreading the good word to prospective comrades. South Yemen Socialist dictator A S Al Beid offered the island to Gorbachev for Soviet purposes and to do a bit of fishing too. So here is one of the tanks that remains after the failed project quite at odds with the surroundings.
