Soviet AFV quiz

AMVAS · 16-12-2006, 06:35 PM

Well, boys..

I see quizzes are very popular here....

He-he... Lets see how experienced you are in Soviet AFVs...

For instance, an easy question just for this Soviet tank

come on!

If you are attentive, you can say me, what SOVIET tank is hidden under this armor

kfz · 16-12-2006, 07:04 PM

Not well up on Soviet designs, but is the first one one of the BT series? BT40/1/2. Christue suspension is a give away.

Judging my the 76mm gun its either JS1/2 or T34/76?? T34 I think.

But Christie with return rollers?
Top one, I'm leaning towards the T-29,(haven't got a decent picture of one though, only plans) thought it might be T-46 but that's got no extra turret.

Second one looks like a T34/76 with only the Mantlet showing?

Good picture.
Cheers,
Adam.

#1 haven't a clue.
#2 is T34/76 trying to be a Tiger.

Good results, Gentlemen!

Von Poop: My special respect!

It's really T-29!

This model was worked out for quite many years as wheeled modification of T-28. But it appeared that the tank was too heavy for this.
BTs were much more light and even their latest modifications had much troubles with wheeled motion.
A few different T-29 vehicles were built.
During the battle for Moscow even experimental AFVs were used. But unfortunately there still no clear evidences where those had been used.
Soviet archivalr ecords have some specific, which don't allow to do this.

kfz: You are not far from the truth.
It's an attempt to protect T-34 with concrete armor.
The attempt failed, but vehicle itself appeared to be rather interesting....

regards,
Alex

P.S. To Von Poop.
There were several vehicles under T-46 name.

I made those photos int eh Cenral Museum of the Great Patriotic War this August.
Any suggestions what tank is this one?

(Rem. It's not T-26....)

I'd go for a T-46-1, a prototype used as a fixed defense.

This T-46-1 vehicle was used in Karelian Fortified Zone and was found a few years ago..

But it was easy task knowing where this vehicle is stored now

Za Rodinu · 17-12-2006, 12:27 PM

No, it wasn't easy at all

and I only found your index to the pics a few minutes ago! Damn, it was there!

Can you provide some history on this tank? The site Where I found the photos is in Japanese, which is even worse for me than Russian!
