Tankie in 1956: Getting into your T-90 and driving across the Hungarian border to brutally suppress an uprising of (coughnationalcough) socialists protesting Soviet occupation

Tankie in 2024: Getting into your PSA Bronto and doing donuts in your neighborhood cul de sac blaring "Don't Vote for Joe Biden" out of a megaphone, until police show up and drag you off to prison for violating a noise ordinance.

This is historically incorrect. The T-90 didn't enter service until 1992. They would have gotten into T-54/55s or T-44. Possibly even T-34s?
