T-16? T-12? T-19? TG-1? Ringing any bells? I'd be surprised if they did. These are a handful of some of the Soviet Unions interwar tank designs, vehicles that filled the weird gap between their first tank in 1920 and their successful vehicles in the mid 1930s. These are the interwar design disasters.

The problem with interwar tank designs is that pretty much EVERYONE screwed them up monumentally. People THOUGHT they knew what had worked during WWI, and they THOUGHT they knew what would work in a future war, and mostly, they were wrong, just more or less radically so. . Nice video.

[@arianwinanto6299]

I would argue the Brits got it right, they were the first who thought of armored warfare where every military branches are mechanised in the 1920s. By the War started, it was the only nation with small but effective crew number, good gun, and adequate protection, which became the norm on tank designs on the later years, with a clear doctrine that continues to be used until a new doctrine was created universal tank, which now we know as MBT.

[@DIREWOLFx75]

@@arianwinanto6299 "I would argue the Brits got it right" Uh-huh... "it was the only nation with small but effective crew number, good gun, and adequate protection" Say WHAT now? The standard British tank gun, at best, was the 2 pounder. And the British were the most extreme in dividing tanks between cruisers and infantry tanks. The Cruiser series of British tanks topped out at 30mm armor. The Crusaders were only slightly better and it wasn't until summer 1942 that the Mk III got 51mm armor along with being the first to mount a 57mm cannon. A gun that would have been great in 1939 and 1940, which by 1942 was of uncertain value. The Matilda had mostly good or ok armor, but it was still not a modern tank, with too many weak spots, and it was literally made to move at infantry WALKING speed. Pit a T-34 against any British tank 1941 and who's the better tank is predictable. The British 2 pounder is essentially useless against T-34 armor while the medium velocity 76mm gun on the T-34 will tear anything but the Matilda completely apart. And the Matilda can't handle the HE shots without detracking, allowing a T-34 to easily get at its vulnerable sides and rear. And while the KV-1 were rather crude for its time, they had roughly the same protection everywhere, or better, than the Matilda II had at best. Coupled with the same 76mm gun as on the T-34. British Cruisers and Crusaders in 1941 couldn't even penetrate them even if they got endless free shots. And even their later 57mm gun upgrade needed special ammo to pen the kind of armor the KV-1 had. . "they were the first who thought of armored warfare where every military branches are mechanised in the 1920s." They were the first that tested it. It's arguable who first considered it. Charles DeGaulle was a serious pioneer on the subject, to the point that Guderian personally translated his military theory books to German between the war as he considered them absolutely essential reading. And by the time WWII started, France actually probably had the most mature and functional mechanised warfare doctrine. Except of course, that only the French experimental divisions that had been testing it knew it, and only from experience, with no formal training or formalised rules. Also, Jean Estienne tried to form a fully mechanized French force already in 1921, 4 thousand tanks and 8 thousand APCs. Also, the idea of fully mechanized warfare came about VERY early also in the red army. Because the warfare there during WWI had tended to be VERY mobile, something that quickly made the idea highly relevant. "which now we know as MBT." Essentially, the T-44, which then in revamped form became the T-54, the most produced tank ever.

[@arianwinanto6299]

​@@DIREWOLFx75 I did say "by the war started", which most nations had interwar tanks. Maybe I oversimplified on the armour part, but Matilda 1 can held up its own against German 37mm AT guns during the German invasion on France, though the tank itself was designed from a mix of old WW1 tactics and their experimental tactics which later developed into the Light, Cruiser, Infantry. Tank cannons at the start of the War, Germans had majority of 20mm, Pz3 with their 37mm was being fielded at a smaller number at the time, Soviets had their 45mm or the howitzer 76mm which isn't what's used on their T34, US with 37mm which was as good as the 2pd. 2pd itself was deadly in France and the African campaign until the Germans uparmored their tanks. Obviously, when the war entered its mid years, most of the Soviets and the US better tanks entered the service at a greater rate which saw the tanks that are even better than the Brits such as the T34 and the Shermans. I would say France had a good development on their doctrine and tanks too, but due to their loss we didn't see "much" action and it's hard to judge it's effectiveness, and as you said, the training wasn't spread out to other units. But their tanks do give much stress for the Commander though. On the MBT part, sure it's very hard to know who did started that. Some say Comet tank started it, some say T44, some say the Panther, I've even heard that the French started the concept. Feel free to disagree ofc, I'm just here to clarify the time in my previous comment.

You need to give it to Soviets, even if they had no capabilities and experience in designing and producing tanks, instead of giving up and just buying them from abroad, like many others would, they actually tried and worked on their own stuff until they got competent enough to actually make something good.

The Christie Tank was a tank from abroad and a good one.

[@Pushing_Pixels]

They didn't have much choice, as no industrialised country was willing to sell them modern tanks in the numbers they wanted. They only got Christie's design because the Americans didn't want it.

[@billwilson-es5yn]

​@@Pushing_PixelsThe US Army used the Christie's design. He got pissed off after the contract to build them was given to American-LaFrance instead. Christie sold the rights to anything he designed to the Army in the early 1920's so couldn't prevent that. He also was a PITA to deal with. Walter sold that design to Great Britain and the USSR. Both countries fielded tanks during the war that came from that design. The Army tried it out, made modifications then declared those obsolete in 1939 to get something better made. That turned out to be the M3 and M4.

[@kingfish2703]

Soviet tank design is so interesting. They basically started as some farmers and workers without any know how and in just a few decades they build some of the most advanced vehicles at the time. Truly remarkable

[@marjae2767]

During the World War, Russian industry relied on Ukrainian coal, from the Donbas, and iron, from Kryvyy Rih. Which they lost in 1918. So workers at arms factories such as the Putilov plant couldn't build a lot in the Civil Wars. They could repair old equipment, and they could build limited numbers of experimental projects such as the Austin-Kegresse halftrack and the Russkiy-Renault tank.

[@billwilson-es5yn]

The US Army didn't bother with designing tanks after the war. They used Ford's Renaults and tested what J. Walter Christie came up with. The Army told Christie their specifications and he would build them differently. The Army Arsenal finally built one design according to the Army's specs to be known as the Model 1928. Some countries check it out. It resembled a tall Churchill Crocodile. Then Christie introduced his Model 1929 fast tank so the Army paid him to produce several with the Army adding on a turret. It was liked by the tankers so the Army had Ordnance design one like it then hired American - LaFrance to build it. They were slow and went way over budget so had their contract cancelled with further tank development handled by the Army Arsenal. They reduced the length and weight of the combat car by using a Wright radial aircraft engine coupled to the rear transmission which enabled both to be removed while connected for servicing by using a truck crane. The Army adopted it in 1938 then declared it obsolete in early 1939 after watching the fighting in Europe. They told Ordnance to come up with something that was better armored and armed with a robust suspension and drivetrain that would be easy to repair out in the field. The Army Arsenals were working on a light tank and had finalized a design that became the M2. They drove one from Lima, Ohio to Washington DC on public roads in good time without any breakdowns (used 2 Cadillac V8's and a Buick Hydramatic automatic transmission). Congress was impressed so gave the Army the OK to produce them. Ordnance hired Chrysler to help out designing a medium tank and the factory plus machinery to make the parts. They came up with the M3 and M4. Ordnance also designed a heavy tank at the same time which was the M6. They figured Germany was doing the same thing so wanted one ready to counter theirs. It had the transmission and final drive in the rear and used a larger radial engine. They used a fluid drive transmission of their own design that used kerosene as the fluid. They also made a few that used a gas engine spinning a generator that powered electric motors that turned the drive sprockets. That type of drivetrain allowed the tank to travel at the same speeds in forward and reverse. It worked but had too many maintenance problems so was set aside for further development for use in the T series that were to replace the M4. The M2 was improved to become the M5. Ordnance then used the M5 chassis to make the M7 fast artillery tractor. They called it fast since it could tow field pieces faster than a team of horses.

How is the the T-14 Armata a Soviet tank design?

[@user-dl3nc4jx7k]

Prototypes with Armata-like characteristics were created back in the Soviet Union, there were like 3-4 projects, that is, with an isolated crew capsule and an uninhabited tower, two projects were even with a 152 mm gun.So the Armata project did not arise from scratch. as for the t-14 armata, its future is unknown even to the Russians, there is a hypothesis that it will be a small-series transition tank (and it will never enter the army), on which various new concepts for future vehicles will be worked out. the tank itself is expensive, it costs like 3 pcs of T-90. Of course, Armata is not a tank that will be produced now during military operations, during the war, there are always proven designs in production with the best price/quality/production time spent.(these are the tanks that go down in history)

[@powertron7715]

Random question: I is the BT considered a armored car because it can run with out treads.

Tracked/Wheeled Combat Car. The Soviets also used an armored car with a tank turret. It had two rear axles so was equipped with two sets of tracks that went around the rear wheels. J.
