The IS-7 heavy tank design began in Leningrad in 1945 by Nikolai Fedorovich Shashmurin [1] [2] [5] Weighing 68 tonnes, thickly armoured and armed with a 130mm S-70 long-barrelled gun, it was the largest and heaviest member of the IS family [4] and one of the most advanced heavy tank designs.

The Obiekt 279, or Object 279, (Объект 279) was a Soviet experimental heavy tank developed at the end of 1959. This special purpose tank was intended to fight on cross country terrain, inaccessible to conventional tanks, acting as a heavy breakthrough tank. It was planned as a tank of the Supreme Command Reserve. [citation needed]
Many World War II German military vehicles, initially (starting in the late 1930s) including all vehicles originally designed to be half-tracks and all later tank designs (after the Panzer IV), had slack-track systems, usually driven by a front-located drive sprocket, the track returning along the tops of a design of overlapping and sometimes ...
After the fall of France, it was decided the nascent Canadian armoured divisions would be equipped by tanks produced in Canada.The result was the Ram cruiser tank, based on the chassis and running gear of the US M3 Lee medium tank; Rams were produced by the Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) from 1941 to 1943.
The Obiekt 490 "Poplar", or Object 490, was an experimental Soviet tank developed in the early 1980s. [1] Two versions of the vehicle existed under the same project name, however the designs were radically different, with the second being one of the most unusual designs in the history of tank development.

On 10 March 1935, design work began on a new tank model designated 10TP. Major Rudolf Gundlach led the design team, which included engineers Jan Łapuszewski, Stefan Ołdakowski, Mieczysław Staszewski, Kazimierz Hejnowicz, and process engineer Jerzy Napiórkowski. In 1936, the 10TP tank design was still under development, but it was ...
In 1936–1939 the Design Office of the STZ developed several experimental tanks (6 TK, 4 TG, STZ-25, STZ-35) based on the T-26 tank and the STZ-5 transport tractor. For instance, the STZ-25 ( T-25 ) had the turret, rear part of the hull, engine and some transmission details from the T-26 mod. 1938, but the STZ-25 wheeled-tracked tank weighed ...
