The first Soviet report to refer to the Infantry Tank Mk.II as "Matilda" was composed #OTD in 1941. This shows that the name was used unofficially, as the British only officially adopted names for their tanks on the following day. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

For a period of time, American light tanks developed in multiple branches. The Light Tank M5 received a new engine while the M3A3 received a new turret. #OTD in 1942 the Americans combined the two, creating the Light Tank M5A1. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The high velocity 76 mm F-27 gun was installed in a T-28 tank for trials #OTD in 1940. This gun with the ballistics of the 3-K AA gun was developed for use in the T-150 tank which never entered mass production. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Japan purchased a Tiger tank and blueprints from Germany during the Second World War. The plan was to disassemble the tank and send it to Japan by submarines, but #OTD in 1944 the tank was pressed into service by the Germans and never made it to Japan. #tanks #History #WWII #WW2

Work on applique armour was due #OTD in 1938. This work would breathe some new life into old Soviet tanks by giving them enough armour to resist at least light anti-tank guns. Unfortunately, by 1941 few tanks had these upgrades. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

"The Silent Signals" truly invites a deep dive into its intricate soundscapes, revealing layers with each listen. It’s fascinating how each note holds a unique resonance. As for the video on Challenger 2s in Ukraine, it's a stark reminder of the complexities behind military narratives. #tanks

#OTD in 1936 the USSR established a plan to recover steel in wartime in order to recycle it for the defense industry. This policy came in handy five years later, enabling tank production of colossal scope. #tanks #history #WWII #WW2

Assembly of the IS-6 (Object 252) prototype began #OTD in 1944. This tank aimed to fill an intermediate role between the IS-2 and future IS-4, but it was plagued with issues and could not compete with the IS-3 that was tested around the same time. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The Soviet testing program for the M4A2(76)W tank was composed #OTD in 1944. Testing compatibility of ammunition from the GMC M10 and Soviet 76 mm guns was considered very important, since ammo shortages for imported tanks were still common. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The American 76 mm gun was so well received that there were some who were for producing Shermans exclusively with this weapon. #OTD in 1943 it was established that a mix of high and low velocity guns would be best with 25% of Shermans armed with a 76 mm #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

A turret from a King Tiger tank was recovered in good condition #OTD in 1944 and sent to the UK for analysis. Tests showed that the quality and consistency of German armour was slipping, even if the thickness of it kept increasing. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

#OTD in 1940 an order for a second batch of Panzerjager I casemates was signed with Krupp. The second batch offered slightly better protection for the gun crew from the sides, but they were still completely exposed from the top and rear. #tanks #history #WWII #WW2

The T-26-4 was an artillery support version of the T-26 tank, mounting a short 76 mm gun in an enlarged turret. The idea was promising, but an accident during trials that took place #OTD in 1935 led to the termination of the program. #tanks #history
