It is a T-54 tank chassis with a VK-1 turbojet engine installed on it.
I can imagine how worried the enemy intelligence was when an unknown technical monster once appeared on the Afghan highways. The "monster" of the fiery roads was dubbed for its formidable appearance.
The airfield heat engine became the prototype and likeness of "Warm-up". On the basis of the T-54 tank chassis, they installed a jet engine from the MiG-15, attached a voluminous tank with kerosene … It is no wonder that the uninitiated partisan scouts initially mistook the giant minesweeper's nozzle for the barrel of a curious cannon and panickedly informed about future troubles. Meanwhile, the driver-mechanic Jr. Sergeant V. Kovyazin (this name will remain in the battle history) confidently led the "Warm-up" along the Jalalabad-Asadabad highway, literally revealing the intrigues of the saboteurs themselves. In the presentation of the document, it looked like this: "When a gas-dynamic jet affects the road surface with a destroyed asphalt surface, soil and rubble are ejected, all irregularities are clearly exposed …" To put it simply, the crew tore off the camouflage cover from the mines "driven" into the rocky bed. They appeared to the gaze like peeled nuts.
To the question: where did the "monster" go, only assumptions: he got lost in the mountains, or maybe in the dump of an experimental plant.
