Relations between the US and Russia may well be at an all-time low. That makes it a good time to remember that this has not always been the case.
In April, a rusty, decrepit hunk of metal was loaded onto an Il-76 airplane and flown from one end of Russia to the other, from Murmansk to Vladivostok.
Said hunk of rusted metal was a Sherman Tank that had been sent to Russia from the US 73 years ago, to aid in the allied fight against Nazi Germany and its Axis allies.
