Back then they could only fly in one piece.
Today, Russia's tanks have a more advanced modular design, so the turret can take off on its own.

A part of the cold war that has been hidden from the public!

That tank was extremely fast for, you know, a tank, and had a decent suspension, so it was probably fine. Can't say the same for the crew tho lol

Idk who said tanks are slow, 50mph seems pretty fast to me. That coming at you would be terrifying

[-] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Lol I was thinking of the crew lol.

Weird right? Lol
