If you get as close as maps allows to that tank, I doubt it's guarding anything other than the sand beneath it.
Birds have other things to do. You need watching, after all.
There are multiple tanks over the entire area. You think they are out of commission?
Yeah, they look very old and if you zoom in, there's a lot of what looks like rust on some of them.
There's also boats, a bulldozer, semitrailers, lots of tank chassis parts, cargo containers and other vehicles that don't appear to be moving any time soon.
My guess would be a low-impact training area. Not sure what's in the pit, it's some sort of chemical waste.
