Chard lourd soviétique à multi-tourelles T-35 abandonné sur la route entre Lviv et Brody – Opération Barbarossa – Front de l'Est – Ukraine – Juillet 1941

T-35 was a Soviet multi-turreted heavy tank of the interwar period and early Second World War that saw limited production and service with the Red Army. Often called a land battleship, it was the only five-turreted heavy tank in the world to reach production, but proved to be slow and mechanically unreliable.

It's always important to choose the right tools for the task, In this case I've chosen the T-35 since it is the largest armoured vehicle in my collection. At 45 tons and 31 feet in length is remains one of the largest and heaviest armoured vehicles ever constructed. It is also the only 5 turreted tank ever to be mass produced. It was not particularly successful in combat and was prone to breaking down, but it's possible that there may be other tasks that play to its strengths.

You cannot convince me the zombots aren’t like this.

They’re asking me to look up an old Soviet-era tank?

...okay.

Apparently it’s big, slow, and prone to mechanical failures.

...I don’t know what else they wanted me to say.

T-35

Chard lourd soviétique à multi-tourelles T-35A du 67e Régiment blindé de la 34e Division blindée de l'Armée rouge abandonné dans la ville de Dniepr lors de l'opération Barbarossa sur le front sud - Ukraine - Septembre 1941

Char lourd de 50 tonnes à multi-tourelles avec un équipage de 11 hommes et produit à environ 70 exemplaires, le T-35 était considéré comme un vaisseau terrestre. Cependant sa masse interdisait le renforcement de son blindage déjà trop faible lors de sa sortie et il se révéla impossible à commander du fait de la séparation de ses postes de combat. La plupart de ces chars furent sabordés ou abandonnés par leurs équipages sans même avoir combattu, les autres étant facilement détruits par l’infanterie allemande.
