Looks like an older version of the tank mounted jet engine used to blow out oil well fires in Iraq years ago.
It's a Soviet runway deicer. Obsolete tank + obsolete jet engine = lots of BTUs of runway cleaning fun.
I pegged the chassis as an old T-34, but I wouldn't have thought it was a de-icer and it clearly is that.I had thought it was adapted to agriculture, a giant stubble burner perhaps.
I thought it was a combat kazoo.
