A detailed guide to the tanks and armored vehicles of Russia and Soviet Union, including hundreds of historical images along with color profiles.

 

 

 

This is a remarkably comprehensive illustrated history of the Soviet and Russian armored branch. Readers will learn about virtually every tank and armored vehicle that has been deployed from WWI to the present day, even including some obscure prototypes.

 

Armor enthusiasts will gain great insight into both the technical details and operational use of these vehicles in the Russian Civil War, WWII, the Cold War, and the 21st-century conflict with Ukraine. The inclusion of the advanced T-14 Armata brings this book fully up to date with modern technology.

 

Along with hundreds of historical photographs (both in B&W and color), each vehicle entry features a large color profile of the type. Packed with content, this book is useful reference for historians, modelers, and gamers alike.
