I had recently a set of documents digitized. One of the set I had digitized was on the High Energy Advanced Technology Transition Demonstrator, or HEATTD.
I'm really happy with what I got since there's finally a glimpse of a concept of the HEATTD, I'd only seen mentions before.
The Korean War began #OTD in 1950. Even though tank development made a step forward since WW2, the majority of the tanks used were WW2 vintage: North Korea used SU-76Ms and T-34-85s, and the Americans used Chaffee, Sherman and Pershing tanks. #tanks#history#ColdWar
SU-100 tank destroyers on parade #OTD in 1945. Their 100 mm gun proved competitive even after the war and the SU-100 remained in production for a few years. Czechoslovakia also produced the SU-100 under license as the SD-100. #tanks#history#WW2#WWII
#OTD in 1945 a grandiose two hour long parade was held in Red Square to celebrate victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War. #tanks#history#WW2#WWII
