In the continuing war against Russian invaders, Ukrainian farmers are legends. They are pictured towing Russian tanks with tractor trailers around the globe, making the scene an instant classic.

As the occupant forces continue to shell their homeland with a brutal campaign of mortar fire, local farmers thought up a way to ridicule Russia’s army and to raise money to rebuild Ukraine.

Ukrainian farmers decided to auction the “used” Russian tanks to international bidders on OpenSea.

“Experience owning your own Russian tank!” invites one Ukrainian farmer on the world’s largest NFT marketplace. He currently holds three Russian tanks for sale, with each one starting at approximately $250K USD (or 250ETH)

But even though the tanks are selling on the NFT marketplace, that does not necessarily mean that their buyers won’t get them in physical form. In fact, it’s very much on the contrary.

“Each of my tanks is ethically sourced, that means they were abandoned, no crew was hurt in the process. So the insides are clean, most, if not all of the equipment has been left inside, and they are not haunted” says the tank seller.

The tank NFT includes a hidden tag that is visible only by its owner. It includes instructions on how to recover the trophy and the exact location it is located.

“Yes, you have to transport it away yourself. In Europe you can move it by train, but if you are dedicated, it can probably be shipped to USA, or anywhere else by cargo ship”, added the humorous farmer.

The farmer’s collection features three different models of Soviet-generation Russian battle tanks: the T-64BV, T-72A and T-80U. This collection is extremely limited and there are no plans to add trophies.

“Right now getting my family out of the conflict zone safely is number 1 priority”, says the seller.

The farmer turned NFT arms dealer stated that all funds raised from selling the war trophies will be dedicated to restoring Ukraine’s agriculture, where a large amount of expensive farming equipment has been destroyed and will desperately be needed to help supply the country’s citizens with homegrown crops once the war ends.
