The King Tiger tank that arrived in Kubinka for trials in September was only repaired #OTD in 1944. Its condition was still not good enough to perform mobility trials, but it could at least drive to the shooting range for gunnery trials. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

#OTD in 1941 the Red Army began to rigidly control qualifications of tank commanders. Only a 1st or 2nd Lieutenant could command a medium tank, a company commander required the rank of Captain (or Major, if it was a heavy tank company). #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Trials of German 75 mm HEAT and 50 mm APCR ammunition against the T-34 finished #OTD in 1942. The conclusion was that spaced armour could protect the sides of the tank from these new threats. Unfortunately, heavier weapons were already in use by the time it was built. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

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
