Sheet 23 Tank
(Page 1)
It was raining when the photograph was taken. The picture shows an abandoned tank at the side of a rural road. The undergrowth was burnt-off during the last dry season and is just starting to grow back.
The tank was damaged in fighting and abandoned. People avoid it because they know that the side of the road is mined.
You can see some clues that the area is dangerous if you look closely at the picture.
Suggested message(s):
-
Avoid abandoned or battle-damaged military equipment.
-
The verges of roads may be mined.
-
If local people avoid something, you should also avoid it.
Sheet 24 Tank
(Page 2)
The red arrows point to the indicators that can be seen in the picture.
From the left these are:
-
An OZM-4 bounding fragmentation mine is half buried at the edge of the trees.
-
Human bones are visible between the tank and the trees.
-
A fire-damaged rifle is leaning against the tank barrel. It seems to have been put there to attract attention. There is ammunition in its magazine and it could still fire.
-
On the ground in front of the tank, the top of a MAI-75 blast mine can just be seen.
Suggested message(s):
-
Avoid abandoned or battle-damaged military equipment.
-
The verges of roads may be mined.
-
If something makes you curious, it may have been left there to deliberately tempt you into a dangerous area.
