79 years ago, the BM-8-24 made its first appearance on the battlefields. The BM-8-24 was based on the T-60 light tank and mounted the well-known 'Katyusha' rocket launcher. The BM-8-24 was built in large numbers and took part in several major battles on the Eastern Front.
We're starting a new military sport competition, a Tank Biathlon to show your skills in War Thunder! More on
@VegB7lsCEM2Rf3l It's a bit of a chongus yes π
In August, 75 years ago, the design of the T95 was finalized. The T95 was a super heavy tank with just over 300 mm of armor, a powerful 105 mm gun, two pairs of tracks, and a top speed of 8 mph (13 km/h). The 86 ton behemoth was cancelled in the end as it was deemed unrealistic.
