#OTD in 1942 the Red Army began experiments to see how T-34 tanks could be protected from HEAT and APCR ammunition. The result of these experiments was the installation of 16 mm thick spaced armour on two brigades worth of T-34 tanks. #tanks #History #WW2 #WWII

Kirov factory developed a replacement for the ISU-152 on the new IS-3 chassis in 1945. The army took its time in giving permission to start trials, and even trials of the gun only began #OTD in 1945. By the time the vehicle was ready, the army lost interest. #tanks #history

Work on 122 mm guns with muzzle velocities of 1000 m/s began #OTD in 1943. These guns were designed to fight future German superheavy tanks, although since those tank never showed up there wasn't much pressure to put the guns into mass production. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Soviet mobility trials of the GMC M10 tank destroyer began #OTD in 1943. The vehicle's mobility was on par with the M4A2 tank that Soviet testers were already familiar with. Adding spurs to the rubber tracks made climbing slopes a lot easier. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

A set of instructions on fighting Ferdinand tank destroyers was distributed #OTD in 1943. One of the biggest weaknesses of the vehicle was a large rear hatch which could be targeted with Molotov cocktails. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Production of LTP tanks for Peru began #OTD in 1938. Threatened by German annexation, the Czechoslovakian army nearly bought these tanks themselves, but the Munich Agreement made armed resistance pointless and the tanks went to their intended owners. #tanks #history

Adna Chaffee was born #OTD in 1884. He fought to establish a tank force in the interbellum period and laid the foundation for the US armored forces. He died in 1941, but was immortalized in the nickname of the Light Tank M24. #tanks #history #ww2 #WWII

Trials of the 122 mm D-25 gun ended #OTD in 1943. The gun passed trials, but the muzzle brake was deformed during firing. It was replaced with a design copied from the Ferdinand. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Major deliveries of KV-85 tanks began #OTD in 1943. This was a stopgap vehicle, allowing a heavy tank with an 85 mm gun to go into production quickly and letting ChKZ master production of a new turret before switching to a new hull for the IS-1. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

A detailed report on the Tiger tank was published in the Tactical & Technical Trends magazine #OTD in 1943. It was theorized that this tank had deep water fording capability for an amphibious landing in the UK, so it was drawn with a snorkel attachment. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

#OTD in 1944 an order was given to introduce improvements into the design of the T-44 tanks as a result of trials. This was the last stage of improvements before mass production would begin. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
