No one can stop fighting the nation when it gets serious, so why dare they say so? Remember these "prehistoric" monsters produced in the former Soviet Union and you will know -
Multi-turret tank T-35, red army ace vase
The T-35 is a Soviet-built heavy tank in the 1930s and is the only mass-produced five-turret tank (the multi-turret cult adherents come to worship quickly).
Before 1941, the T-35 appeared on the parade ground as a symbol of Soviet industrial technology, and for a time it became the object of emulation by British, French, German and other military powers.
However, this seemingly ferocious bag only participated in some battles in the early days of the Great Patriotic War, because of its serious lag in design concept and poor battlefield survivability, and was eventually removed from service by the Soviet army. It's also a contrast.
The first T-35-1, weighing 42 tons, with a volume of 9720 x 3200 x 3430 mm, a crew of 10 to 11 people, an armor thickness of 30 to 40 mm, a 76 mm main gun and two 37 mm secondary guns, each turret equipped with a 7.62 mm machine gun, ammunition base of 10,000 rounds, a travel speed of 28 km / h, in the 1930s can be called a "land battleship".
The T-35-2 entered service in May 1933 and used a different main turret, engine, and side baffle from the T-35-1.
At the same time as the development of the T-35-2, the Soviet army also began to develop the T-35A. The design lengthened the chassis, reduced the caliber of the machine gun and equipped it with a new 45 mm gun.
This is the tapered turret of the last series of T-35s. Although the T-35 was not widely used on the battlefield, it reflected the advanced level of the Soviet Union in tank manufacturing technology, which can be described as a face-to-face meal and a good façade for a competent Soviet Red Army.
A unique nuclear war turtle shell
Project No. 279 was designed by the Kirov Arsenal in 1957 at the request of the Red Army, and the purpose of the project was to create a tank that could survive and fight in nuclear war.
You read that right, it's not a UFO. The heavy tank, code-named 279, was designed to be a bizarre oval shape, similar to a turtle shell, and with the use of advanced hydraulic suspension technology at the time, it did not move in the face of the impact of the nuclear explosion.
Under the premise that the tank compartment volume was minimized, its front armor was 192 mm thick, the maximum thickness of the sides reached 183 mm, the armor of the round turret was 305 mm thick except for the back, and the high stability of the four-track chassis made its grounding pressure only 0.6 kg per square centimeter.
This thing is just a product of the atmosphere of nuclear terror, and today the tank code-named 279 is sleeping in the Kubinka Armored Vehicle Museum.
A lonely day and day cannon
The giant coastal battery No. 981, named "Klim Voroshilov" (also the full name for the "KV" tank series), is located on Rusky Island in the Russian Far East. Built in 1934, the giant fort was used by Russia to show its combat effectiveness in the Pacific (the Soviets really put a lot of effort into the face project), but now it is spending its old age in the history museum.
The caliber of the cannon is 305 mm, and the whole territory of the Soviet Union is in front of the soviet union, and only Sevastopol in Russia has a big guy like it.
Akula, the deep-sea giant shark
These photographs give us a glimpse of Russia's longest and largest submarine. Its name is "Akula", which means "shark" in Russian, and Western militaries also call it the Typhoon-class submarine.
Akula is the world's largest nuclear submarine, equipped with several nuclear-powered generators, and implements the violent aesthetics of the former Soviet Union from appearance to configuration.
The largest command ship, the Urals who have been drifting for a lifetime
The Ural was a Soviet Navy nuclear-powered communications command ship, and much of the information about it was once top secret.
The Urals can determine the performance parameters of any space target within 1500 kilometers. It was launched in 1983 and is equipped with electronic equipment that can detect aerial and underwater targets. The total length of the ship is 265 meters, the draft depth is 7.8 meters, the full load displacement is 34640 tons, the speed is 22 knots, and the theoretical endurance can be achieved infinitely.
It was incorporated into the Pacific Fleet, but could not sail into any of the docks and could only be moored in the bay.
In 1990, the "Ural" had a fire accident caused by the indiscriminate throwing of cigarette butts by the soldiers on board, and the cables on the ship were completely destroyed, and the Soviet Union at that time lacked funds to repair it, so the "Ural" nestled in the Military Port of Magadan for many years and never went to sea for nearly two decades.
Futuristic aircraft of the Miassischev Design Bureau
M-50
When it comes to Russian aircraft, people will think of the SU series and the MiG series, but have you heard the word Myasischev? Vladimir Miassishev was the chief engineer of the Myassishev Design Bureau, whose aircraft were also given his name and were often abbreviated as "M" plus numbers, such as the M-50 and M-18.
M-4
These aircraft were produced very little and rarely survived intact. Even so, Miasishev made a mark on the history of Soviet aviation, and his most famous work, the M-4, nato code name "Bison", had the ability to bomb targets on the American mainland.
M-18
Figure-160
The Design Bureau manufactures both jet fighters and large strategic bombers. Here, it has to be said that Miyasishev's other legendary work M-18, it is said that at that time, Miyesisshev was unable to complete the prototype of the M-18, so he handed over the design to Tupolev, and then the world-famous Tu-160 appeared.
Snap! Short-lived TU-144
History will remember this day, and on December 31, 1968, the TU-144 became the world's first supersonic civil aviation airliner. 2350 km/h? 3 hours from Moscow to the Pacific coast?
Even today, can you imagine shortening six hours to an hour and a half to fly from New York to San Francisco? Or two hours to get people from New York to Hawaii? TU-144 tells you yes. Although the TU-144 passenger aircraft flew smoothly, there were three collisions after that, resulting in its passenger service withdrawing from the historical stage in half a year.
A pick-up expert who is not afraid of winter
Water resistance is the main problem of increasing the maximum speed, and hydrofoils and hovercrafts are born. The unlimited season and the high speed of summer and winter are the outstanding advantages of hovercraft. At the same time, the huge fuel consumption is the fatal disadvantage of hovercraft.
The gas turbine hovercraft "Sormovich", built in 1965, tested at a speed of 120 km / h, floated 0.25 - 0.3 meters when driving, braved the shoals, and landed as smoothly as silk.
Sormovich is 29.2 meters long, 11.3 meters wide and 7.8 meters high. Hovercraft have a distance of about 600 kilometers, a fleet of 3 people, and can carry 50 passengers.
A Caspian monster who just wants to be a good beast
Frankly, I thought that the vehicles that floated slowly and slowly on the ground were obsolete. But in fact, there was always no shortage of strange things in the Soviet Union, and their large factory warehouses still had at least one ground effect vehicle that had never been used before, the Caspian monster "Spasatel", or "Savior".
The Soviet Union tried to transform the Caspian Sea monster for civilian use, and it also bred a gentle heart under the name of fierce (2) cruel (b). With eight turbines, it is fully capable of rescue missions at the wreck site, while the ship can also accommodate doctors and medical equipment.
But beauty failed to spoil every beast, and it never had the opportunity to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, leaving only posterity to shed a handful of bitter tears for it.
Then there was no then Tsar rocket
The "heavy" Tarzan rocket carrier N-1 was also called the "Tsar Rocket" because of its touching size. It weighs a total of 2500 tons... Cough, 110 meters high. Its mission is as great as its size: to strengthen national defense, to contribute to scientific and economic programs, to serve interstellar voyages, to conquer the seas of stars along the way.
The Soviet Union adopted the rocket's vertical structure in 1962, which allowed the rocket to push a 75-metric-ton load into orbit. It is the largest rocket ever built by humans, along with the U.S. Saturn 5 (1972) launch vehicle.
However, due to various technical difficulties and poverty, the N1 rocket successfully reached a 100% failure rate, and the planned 12 test flights were hastily ended due to the first 4 fiasco...
These great prehistoric freaks more or less carried out the Soviet union's not simple but crude aesthetic of industrial violence, and they are now lying quietly in museums and garbage heaps, thickly covered in dust and time. In these few days of less tranquility, this may be the greatest luck to think about it. May the world be at peace and all the beasts of the world sleep in peace.
