Today in my series looking at Interwar tanks that need adding to War Thunder we take a look at Soviet Interwar tanks.<br /><br />So join me as we take a look at the first Soviet attempts at domestically designing tanks during the 1920's, how Walter Christie's tanks would go on to inspire a whole bunch of Soviet tank designs and how all these various factors culminated in the excellent T-34 design of World War 2 fame!<br /><br />Also apolgies for the delay, as have been busy as of late, with recording taking place in different times and areas.<br /><br />Social Media ⬇️<br />Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/toreno.bsky.social<br />Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/Toreno4<br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/toreno170<br />Mastodon: Toreno17@mastodon.social<br />Threads: https://www.threads.net/@toreno170<br />Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Toreno17<br />Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/toreno5/videos<br /><br />Sources⬇️<br />Firearm Central Wiki.
