The only practical protection from bullets and dangerous flying objects was steel, but weight forced a tradeoff between protection and mobilit...

Russia's Insane T-95 Tank: The Weapon Moscow Passed on (Thank God)
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * Some Russian defense commentators proclaim to this day that the T-95 was the better tank. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The T-95 appears to be a far more powerful tank than the T-14. The T-14 has a less powerful primary and coaxial armament, has fewer sighting systems, and has similar armor. The history of Russian and Soviet armor is littered with prototypes of “super tanks” that promised armor and lethality far beyond any of their contemporaries. But at the end of the Cold War, the Soviet Union developed an actual prototype “super-tank” that if ...
