Strewth...
More mentalism from the age of the Jet-train, the US version looks even more like something from thunderbirds:
Wacky Races: The Soviet Union vs US Jet Train Race

And a French variant (with some video) :
L'Aérotrain et les Naviplanes

Heard this just a hoax, but heard there were 2 proto on this, one used during the battle for moscow, it was blewn up by one of its turret,.. and second was sent to leningrad,.
myth said,..; when asked on how this thing turns,.. stalin replied." it doesn't need to turn, it will drive straight to Berlin."

I see the Rocket tank is still preserved at Kubinka:
Tank museum, soviet medium tanks and assault guns
Is this the one, being used to obliterate an old WW2 German vehicle?
YouTube - IT-1 - The rocket tank
Interesting article on it:
Translated version of http://armor.yurteh.net/Tanks/Modern/roket/roket1.html

Following an article on the project in CMV magazine I looked for more on the Bizarre 'Object 279' 'Swamp tank', found a clip of it actually moving here, something I'd not seen before:
YouTube - TANK Object 279 -prototype heavy tank(Video)
