Could be the M20 during operation stack to be fair.

Wibble wobble wibble wobble... second lane of a bridge...
Nice!
Heat buckling the metal?The more I see of the damage the more confusing it gets :s
Looking at the video I can see other issues impacting production namely the lack of spare parts to repair the CNC machines they are using to help build the tanks. Peter Zeihan touched on this a while ago and mentioned with the level of western sanctions in place in Russia in the long run Russia manufacturing industry will start breaking down due to the lack spare parts and loss of access to western technical experts and potentially we could see the whole country go through a process of de-industrialization.We laugh... but a lot of white goods use stuff like the iSensor MEMS which are literally used by Iskanders missiles...
Does make one wonder as a recent poster mentioned about stocks of 115mm shells... I don't buy it means they've exhaustively run out of "modern" tanks - though by all reports they can only produce ~10 new ones a month. The reasoning for trotting out T-62s IMO is a lot more complicated than that.
EDIT: Supposedly they can put less than 60 tanks back into service a month - so 800 would take over a year unless they significantly scale up the industry.

T-62 is also what many of the newly mobilized allready knows how to use..
I'd remove that matey, no way they came out of that aliveWell that was clever!
There at least one guy sat at the end looking a bit shook up but ok.I'd remove that matey, no way they came out of that alive
Lightly toasted maybe....I'd remove that matey, no way they came out of that alive

Saw this earlier and it seems to be a reasonable explanation... truck bomb but not just a regular homemade fertiliser bomb but higher quality explosives + thermite or similar burning metals - thus the damage to the other bridges/train:
Still haven't seen anything to explain how a truck bomb laden with explosives managed to end up travelling on the bridge from Russia.
