Soviet tanks
Kremlin's armored vehicles
Soviet tanks were armored military vehicles produced by the Soviet Union, including iconic models like the T-34 and T-72.
The phrase often evokes Cold War imagery—columns of armor rolling through Eastern Europe or parading through Red Square.
Soviet tanks crushed the Hungarian uprising in 1956.
The T-34 is widely considered one of the most influential tank designs in military history.
