Which types of tank are on this photo?

score:3

Accepted answer

The tank on fire is most likely a T54 Soviet tank, prepared for longer range with the horizontal beam attached to the back and one of the two barrels still in place.

It looks like the tank on fire could have had a second barrel on the left side next to the barrel that is on fire.

Here is a picture in Prague where the mounted beam on the back of the tank is better visible and can be compared with the one on the photo in the question. The number of wheels corresponds too, with a bit more space behind the first of the bigger 5 and 2 small ones front and back. Alsothe angle of the track going up on the hind side matches.

This picture of the same tank in the samelocation is almost identical totheone in the link above but with a man walking past the tank and a second turret of another tank that pulled up beside the first. You may research the unit from the markings.
