The Wheatcroft Collection is perhaps notable for having a number of extremely valuable and rare Second World War-era German military vehicles, including four Panther tanks, [9] one of which is close to full restoration, a StuG III assault gun, a Panzer III, and a Panzer IV tank and various components from many other vehicles.
The IS-3 was a compromise, combining the Kotin chassis with the Dukhov turret while retaining the Object 703 factory designation. However the tank could not exceed the weight of the IS-2 tank (46 metric tons), requiring some redesigns to decrease the new tank weight.
The organisation had designed a new prototype tank, named Black Eagle but it did not enter production. Although the plant received work modernising T-62 and T-72 tanks this did not provide sufficient income and in 2002 the company went bankrupt. [3] In 2004 the design arm of the business was absorbed into Uralvagonzavod. [5]

In 1973, Rolf Hilmes saw three tank generations and three "intermediate generations", which consisted mainly of upgraded vehicles. [3] The first generation of main battle tanks was based on or influenced by designs of World War II, most notably the Soviet T-34. [4]
The TK (also known as the TK-3) tankette was a Polish design produced from 1931 based on the chassis of the British Carden Loyd tankette, with an improved hull and more powerful engine, and armour up to 8 mm (0.31 in) thick (10 mm or 0.39 in on the TKS).

Design focused primarily on anti-tank capabilities, sharing much in common with American WWII-era tank destroyers. [3] This has caused confusion with tank destroyers in many references, [2] although the vehicle was designed for, and remained in, the tank role. [2] [5] The new turret used the larger Ordnance QF 20 pounder gun.
