Please Identify

[J.F.]

Here is obviously a junk bird............ Can anyone identify it? I am
being thrown off by the tail gun which could possibly make it Russian.

Never in my life have I heard such a pitiful
story as the one you have just recounted me.
My heart simply bleeds for you and I hope
you will accept this as a token of my deepest
sympathy.

An Antonov An-12 CUB sitting on two T-54s or 55s. Probably a leftover of
Soviet adventures in Afghanistan.
