Just found this, and thought I would share it: https://alternathistory.com/teleupravlyaemye-krasnoarmejtsy-elektrotanketka-fantasta-kazantseva/ It seems to be a little-known Soviet equivalent to the German Goliath (and likewise French Kegress Machine).

Just perusing my photocopy of Zaloga's SOVIET TANKS AND COMBAT VEHICLES OF WORLD WAR II last night and saw something I'd missed before. There is mention of the SMK-2, a modification of the SMK heavy tank (developed concurrently with the T-100 heavy tank, only one prototype of each being...

Some time ago, it must have been in 2013-2014, I was able to see in a movie (maybe on YouTube) a guerrilla with the typical Chitral cap used by ethnic Afghans Pashtun, equipped with a weapon system that looked like a German Fliegerfaust / Luftfaust and the militian who used it pointed it...

Via Google Translate, Yahoo! Babelfish, and my re-writing and editing: In March 1930, foreign specialists were invited to provide technical assistance to the Soviet Union. Among these foreign specialists was a German engineer named Edward Grotte. Under his leadership, in the fall of 1931 at the...

T-74 Designed in 1971 as the successor to the T-64 by Kharkov, however resistance from the army, the retirement of Morozov and the replacement of Andrei Gretchko as Minister of Defence by Dimitry Ustinov (who favoured the gas turbine powered T-80) ended this project. Kharkov continued to...

Evening gents I was looking for information on the Soviet ZSU-37 SPAAG, when I discovered that there was a ZSU-37-2 Yenisei. The only information I could find was - The ZSU-37-2 Yenisei is a later, unrelated design based on the chassis of the experimental SU-100P self-propelled gun. It was...

As freaky as it is it's gotta be Russian ;) (The name probably says it all but any background on this?)
