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 |

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)  Last edited by von Poop; 28-02-2008 at 09:22 AM.
