Information in the Red Army was shared horizontally as well as vertically. #OTD in 1944 the 1st Ukrainian Front shared data on the field trials of their King Tigers with the 2nd Ukrainian Front while official trials at Kubinka were only beginning. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The T-10M tank was accepted into service #OTD in 1957. Its main distinguishing feature over the T-10B was the use of an improved 122 mm M-62 gun that replaced the D-25T, variants of which were used on Soviet heavy tanks since 1943. #tanks #history #ColdWar

Two King Tiger tanks arrived at the Kubinka Proving Grounds #OTD in 1944. The journey took a month and a half since the captured tanks had to drive to the train station for shipping, but kept breaking down despite being almost brand new. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Mikhail Koshkin, the leader of the design team at factory #183 that created the legendary T-34 tank, insisted on taking part in the trials personally. When the tank fell into a river during winter trials, he contracted pneumonia and died #OTD in 1940. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

A list of desired features for the next generation of T-34 tank was composed #OTD in 1940. These features were supposed to be put into production with the T-34M in 1941, but the invasion by Nazi Germany prevented this upgrade. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

#OTD in 1945 the SU-101 returned for a second round of trials. Despite many improvements, the limitations of the T-44 chassis made themselves known. Since the war was over, it was preferable to wait for a tank destroyer based on the T-54. #tanks #history

The Mozdok-Malgobek Operation concluded #OTD in 1942. The German offensive towards the Caucasus oil fields was successfully defeated, depriving the Nazis of fuel necessary for a prolonged war. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
