The Open-air exhibition contains collections of artillery weapons, naval ships, engineering vehicles, air defense systems, and one of the most complete collections of Lend-Lease equipment. It features collection of military machines and vehicles ranging from Soviet T-34 tanks to supersonic fighters from 1970s to 1980s. One of the more visually captivating is the exhibit of railway equipment from 1930s to 1940s. It includes a railway station “Uzlovaya” and 7 tracks with several dozen units of rail transport, such as original steam locomotives and railcars, two military hospital cars from the Great Patriotic War and an armored train recreated based on the original steam locomotive of the Ov series. Last but not least is the exhibit of domestic and foreign large-scale mining and quarry equipment that includes excavator EKG-5, bulldozer CHETRA and mine and quarry dump trucks. But the gem of the collection is the BelAZ-75710, the largest working dump truck in the world with load capacity up to 450 tons. The Open-air exhibition opened in 2010 and has the area of 13 hectares.
