For example, German troops were instructed to climb up onto a T-34 with a bucket of mud and cover its viewports. It's unclear how this technique was supposed to be executed in combat. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

There is no such thing as an invincible tank. #OTD in 1941 instructions were distributed among German troops showing how to stop even the newest Soviet tanks, although some of these methods bordered on suicidal. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Spaced armour to protect German medium tanks from Soviet anti-tank rifles was introduced in 1943. A lighter version made of tightly woven wire mesh rather than solid plate was put into production #OTD in 1944. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

#OTD in 1941 Moscow People's Militia divisions were reinforced with tank companies. Like the divisions themselves, these weren't first rate formations, chiefly armed with T-37A reconnaissance tanks, T-27 tankettes, and armoured cars. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Production of T-60 tanks was set up at KhTZ in early September but quickly stopped as the Germans neared. Evacuation of equipment and personnel to Stalingrad began #OTD in 1941. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Close Air Support were coordinated by "Flivos", which were ground-controller air force officer teams.

The Medium Tank T22 split into three projects #OTD in 1942. The T22 had a 76 mm M1 gun, the T22E1 had a 75 mm gun with an autoloader, and the T22E2 had a 3" M7 gun. The T22E2 was never built and ultimately all T22 variants were unsuccessful. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Faced with new heavily armoured tanks, Germany scrambled to build tank destroyers to face them. The 7.62 cm F.K.(r) auf gp. Selbstfahrlafette (Sd.Kfz. 6/3) cobbled together from unused halftracks and captured guns entered gunnery trials #OTD in 1941. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

A noticeable change was made to the SU-85 #OTD in 1943: starting with the 95th vehicle the gun mantlet was held on by 6 bolts rather than 4. This distinguishing feature remained until the end of production. #tanks #History #WW2 #WWII

#Russia is showing exactly what this will do. #Tanks are just drone #fodder. Get with the times or get left behind.

The #US cut the drone battalion training with front line Drone units in Ukraine.

Say you are #stupid without words.

#OTD in 1942 a report was written detailing the results of trials of the Churchill III in the USSR. Even though the tank had drawbacks, it was judged to be on par with the KV-1S tank and suitable for use in Guards heavy tank units. #tanks #history #ww2 #WWII

Descriptions of interesting trophies found in Germany were sent to the GBTU #OTD in 1945. These included the Maus, Sturmtiger, Flakpanzer Kugelblitz, and Ardelt Waffentrager. Samples were sent to the USSR for study. #tanks #history #WWII #WW2

The first Czechoslovakian tank regiment was formed #OTD in 1935. It was equipped with LT vz.34 tanks, which quickly made way for the superior LT vz.35 with the same armament, but better armour and suspension. #tanks #history

An order to begin working on a 122 mm gun with a muzzle velocity of 1000 m/s was given #OTD in 1943. This gun was intended to fight German superheavy tanks with even thicker armour than the Ferdinand. The gun was made, but such a tank never arrived. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
