Description The T-34 entered service with the Red Army in 1940.  It proved to be very successful initially against the early Panzers but later improvements had to be made and they saw a longer gun and new turret and then a larger 85mm gun.

The T-34 was fast and agile able reach over 30mph and wide tracks allowed it to keep moving even on difficult terrain.  

The early model weighed 26 tons had a crew of four and was armed with 2 x 7.62 mm machine guns as well as the main gun.

This example is a T-34/85 of the Hungarian Army 1956.

Very nice pic.
Some of these tanks were turned on the Sovs during their invasions in October and November, but not enough, not enough...

Yep, another empire that expanded and contracted over the years and took a long time to be pushed apart from within...

It did, sadly. Still, it is gone and we're better for it being gone.
