The Commissar Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 If I am not mistaken, it is one of the radical Soviet designs of the nuclear age. They had lots of wacky ideas, some of which I personally liked quite a bit. This one looks a little clunky though. I think the Russian Military Zone has scores of these different prototypes around. If not, it is the only US super heavy tank designed to take part in WW2. Thankfully, the war ended before it had to be brought over to Europe. Forgot the name, but it is standing on display in one of the US bases now. Kind of hard to tell with those tiny pictures Skipper, maybe you could put up larger ones?

Michael Dorosh Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Looks like an American M2 Browning on it, and the suspension looks very American HVSS also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfish Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 That is the T-28 heavy battle tank. You can find a nice example on the grounds of the Patton museum. T-28 Heavy battle tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randl Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 It looks a lot like a United States T28 Super Heavy Tank (T95 105mm Gun Motor Carriage) One of these is on outdoor display at the Patton Museum, Ft. Knox, KY. Originally designed to work against the West Wall. First prototype completed in December 1945, to late to see combat. Only two completed. Had two tracks so as not to sink into the ground on cross country travel. The outer track assemblies were designed to be removed to allow transport by truck or rail.
