Every Soviet Tank of the Cold War (1947–1991) – Complete Visual Catalog

This catalog-style documentary presents every Soviet tank fielded between 1947 and 1991, grouped by role and generation. From amphibious light tanks and airborne gun platforms to medium tanks, main battle tanks, and heavy breakthrough designs, each vehicle is briefly profiled with its armament, protection, and intended battlefield function. The video also includes special variants, captured Western tanks evaluated by the USSR, and key prototype and experimental projects that shaped Soviet Cold War armor. By placing these vehicles in a single chronological catalog, the documentary illustrates how Soviet tank design evolved in response to changing doctrine, technology, and NATO capabilities throughout the Cold War. It highlights shifts from traditional heavy tanks to main battle tanks, the increasing role of composite armor, ERA, and guided missiles, and the influence of foreign designs and experimental testbeds on future generations.
