Template:Infobox vehicles
The T-34 (unofficial name) is an old, presumably abandoned tank found in the Rogers Salvage & Scrap Yard in Grand Theft Auto V.
Description
The T-34 is unable to be driven and just appears as a wrecked vehicle inside the scrap yard. It is simply an easter egg left in the game by game developers, and its name comes from its real life counterpart, the Soviet T-34 tank.
Design
it is designed exactly like it was in real life, except instead of it being a T-34-76 as the title of this article suggests, it is actually a T-34-85. This is only due to the gun's caliber, but the larger turret also makes the two variants distinct.
it features well sloped armor at all angles and a larger than normal turret to make room for the 85mm cannon.
Location
- Can be seen at Rogers Salvage and Scrap on Alta Street in La Puerta, Los Santos.
Trivia

- Not much is known about the tank or its presence in the game. It has a possibility that it was a prop in some type of war movie. However, the T-34 has a mounted Degtyaryov DT machine gun, which is usually never seen on museum tanks or tank props in media.
- This tank is actually a T-34-85, not just a generic a T-34 as the title suggests.
- The tank appears to be abandoned, but otherwise fully functional, as there is no evidence of shell pentration, suspension difficulties, or fire damage on the vehicle.
- The tank's presence could be the result of a collector discarding it, or maybe even a collector having sent it there for it to be restored. This is supported by the fact there is sometimes a worker seen fixing a vehicle in the yard.
