Checking pictures on internet, the gun mantle looks like a IS3, The T-10 mantle is slightly different. regards MMG. |

T-10 had fume extractor up toward the front of the barrel. None in the picture, could be a JS-III. |

I remember videos of the Separatists getting it running last year. That's the best place in Kiev they could find for this iconic piece of hardware? |

That's the best place in Kiev they could find for this iconic piece of hardware? It's parked outside a museum:
Now it will decorate the exhibition of the National Museum of Military History. Terrorists used a fighting machine rather as a psychological weapon because the gun tank is faulty. Not quite sure what the second part means… :-) |

Strelkov's forces were able to get the tank running but were unable to get the 128mm gun to work. It was used in a couple of skirmishes and was abandoned during the retreat from Slavyansk.
Immediately after capture |

I suspect it was permanently deactivated when placed as a monument. The sentence is a bit upside down, as it appears to have been used as a psychological weapon (hey, they have a tank!) rather than an actual fighting machine. |

How easy would they be able to find 122mm ammunition? These guns used separate warhead & propellant casings. |

Isn't that the 122mm gun in the IS3 the same as the 122mm artillery piece? |

No – it's a different gun and is using a different ammunition. |
