r/Chechnya

I was browsing a website containing a book about the Battle of Grozny, and I saw an image of this tank. From the text, I learned that this is a T-72A tank painted with the Ichkeria flag. I'm curious whether this tank actually existed in real life or if it's just fictional artwork. If it really existed, could someone please provide a photo or picture of it?

Some countries are obvious, some are speculative. Whether the independence came from a collapse of Russia, a third Russo-Chechen war or whatever else, you decide.
