Red Fićo

The Red Fićo (Croatian: Crveni Fićo), officially Fićo gazi tenka! ('Fićo tramples a tank!') is a monument in Osijek, Croatia. It commemorates the destruction of a Zastava 750 car (popularly known in Croatia as the Fićo) by a Yugoslav Army tank at the start of the Croatian War of Independence, an event that became a symbol of Croatian resistance. The monument, unveiled in 2011, depicts a Soviet-made T-55 tank seemingly sinking into the ground while being run over by a red Zastava 750.
