The 27-Ton Red Menace

The Soviet T-34 was one hell of a tank. By war's end 57,000 of them had been built. They helped push back the Nazi assault on the Russian homeland and led the advance into Berlin. After the War they fought American forces in the Korean War. The last recorded use of the T-34 in action was in Bosnia in 1995 when Serbian forces used one to attack UN Peace Keepers.

Yak-itty Yak

This plucky little craft is the Soviet Union's Yak-9, the airplane that became legend for scrubbing Russian skies clear of the Luftwaffe. Germany decimated the Soviet Union's air force at the start of its invasion of that country in 1941, but these little planes managed to claw back mastery of the skies for the USSR.
