T-34-85 tank on display Soviet T-80 tank on display In 1937, a separate design bureau was established to build a replacement for the BT tank series, under the supervision of Mikhail Koshkin . Koshkin pushed the boundaries of the specification given to him, and further development led to the T-34 , the most-produced and one of the best known ...
Daimler-Benz and MAN were tasked with designing and building a new 30–35 tonne tank by spring 1942. The two T-34 influenced proposals were delivered in April 1942. The Daimler-Benz design was an 'homage' to the T-34, ditching the propensity for engineering excellence, and hence complexity, to produce a clean, simple design with plenty of ...
M1 mine-clearing roller system (MCRS): Installed on the front of the tank through a removable adapter, it provides the capability for neutralization of anti-tank (AT) land mines, which are buried or laid on the surface, in the track path of the vehicle. The MCRS consists of two roller banks with two push-arm assemblies.

Along with the German Tank Museum in Munster, the Army History Museum in Vienna, the Swiss Military Museum in Full, the Bovington Tank Museum, and the Tank Museum in ...
The Panzer III was the first tank to have a 3-man turret: the commander did not have to double up as a loader or a gunner, so he could concentrate on commanding the tank.
