The T-60 tank might not have been impressive for its time, but it was crucial to the defense of Moscow in the fall-winter of 1941. #OTD in 1941 Malyshev successfully petitioned for permission to repurpose non-tank factories to produce these tanks. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The Medium Tank M3A1 was standardized #OTD in 1941. The upper hull of these tanks was cast instead of joined together with rivets. This made it easier to produce and gave it greater resistance under fire at the cost of extra weight. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The first Soviet order for M3 Light tanks was made #OTD in 1941. This tank was not without faults, but it was superior to any Soviet light tank short of the T-50. Shipments continued until the spring of 1943. #tanks #History #WW2 #WWII

A Vickers-Carden-Loyd Transport Tractor towing a twin Vickers-Armstrong Class D 12.7 mm AA/AT gun. Firing AP or AP Flame Tracer with this gun could defeat a 20 mm plate at 90-deg. or an angled 14 mm plate at 180 m. thanks to the round's hardened steel core. #tanks #WW2 #history

Like its 88 mm cousin, the 85 mm 52-K AA gun was a multi-purpose weapon that could handle heavily armoured ground targets in addition to airborne ones. #OTD in 1941 anti-tank regiments with these guns were formed around Moscow to bolster Soviet defenses. #tanks #artillery #history #WW2 #WWII

Trials of the T-46 and T-29 tanks that were supposed to replace the T-26 and T-28 respectively were approved #OTD in 1936. However, due to constantly changing requirements neither tank ended up being mass produced. #tanks #History

Due to a dire situation near Moscow, a special tank company was formed #OTD in 1941. In addition to production vehicles, it included T-29, A-20, and AT-1 prototype tanks from the museum at the Kubinka proving grounds. All three were lost in battle. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1973, an Israeli counterattack during the #YomKippurWar was repulsed by #Egyptian troops at their #Sinai bridgeheads. The #SAM batteries downed numerous #IDF jets and a series of battles cost Israel more than 150 #tanks, with dozens destroyed in minutes.

Work on a heavy cruiser tank began #OTD in 1943. The aim of this project was to drop all the traditions dragging down British tank design and build a tank from scratch. The resulting tank, the Centurion, came too late for WW2 but served for long after. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Guards Heavy Tank Regiments began forming #OTD in 1942. They were armed with either KV-1S or Churchill heavy tanks, numbering 21 tanks (4 companies of 5 tanks each plus one tank in the headquarters). #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Due to a shortage of V-2 diesel engines, T-34 tanks were temporarily authorized to be built with M-17 gasoline engines. #OTD in 1941 the People's Commissariat of Tank production ordered factories building T-34 tanks to refurbish used M-17 engines supplied by the air force. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

#OTD in 1941 a contract for 435 Valentine III tanks was signed with Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company. Only 305 tanks from this contract were ever delivered, plus an additional 82 chassis as bridgelayers. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
