    Stolen from Armorama:

    this was pulled from a riverbed in 2003. I can only assume it was encased in mud, as KV1's didn't get any primer/anti-oxidant paint and were thus naturally prone to heavy rusting.

    At the bottom of the page you can also recoveries of a T-38 light amphibious tank and a BT-5.

    It's not rust; it's desert camo!
