Russia inherited a large number of Soviet tanks, which were later supplemented with new developments. The best and most dangerous tanks that were released in Russia were named by columnist Caleb Larson in a material for 19FortyFive.
An expert from the United States noted that Soviet tanks were distinguished by simplicity in production and operation. A distinctive feature of Soviet and Russian cars were compact dimensions. The first line of the list was taken by the T-34 tank. The advantages of the machine included security and high mobility.
Larson also noted the family of post-war T-54 and T-55 tanks. These machines were distinguished by the simplicity of the design, which led to a high modernization potential. In third place, the publication placed the T-90, which combined the advantages of the T-72 and T-80 tanks. Larson stressed that the T-90 can compete with the American M1A2 Abrams tank.
Promising developments close the list. The author noted the T-95 tank, which received an uninhabited turret and a 152 mm caliber gun. The T-14 Armata tank was placed on the fifth line. The car is distinguished by high security, which is caused by a capsule for the crew, dynamic protection "Malachite" and a complex of active protection "Afganit".
Earlier, British historian James Holland called The M4 Sherman is the best tank of the Second World War. The publication noted that the German tanker Otto Karius considered the T-34 to be the most dangerous enemy.
