Tanks were one of the main reasons Red Army of USSR could defeat Nazi forces during WWII. A race against Nazi was a reason to start a huge tank industry in USSR, which will later turn our country to the world leader in the armored vehicles. The race continued during the Cold War - now against the United States. Soviet engineers were creating an increasingly complex machines with high speed and maneuverability. A peak of that was the famous "flying " tank T-80, which can move with the speed of the car and ‘fly’ over the ground up to 18 meters.
