A rare Nazi tank has been discovered buried beneath a university in Russia, decades after it was used for explosives testing.

The Second World War relic was uncovered during work at Kazan National Research Technological University (KNITU), in the west of the vast country.

Experts have since identified the armoured vehicle as a German Panther V – one of the most formidable tanks deployed by the Nazis during the war.
