The Super Battleship Built to Fight on Land

- The Kremlin never missed a chance to proudly demonstrate the might of the Soviet Union with a military parade.
In 1933, amid this national spectacle, one of the largest tanks ever to enter production rolled across the Red Square; standing over 11 feet tall and 30 feet long, a new monster greeted the world.
Once crippled by the loss of their most experienced engineers during the revolution, the industrial base inherited by the Bolsheviks was forced to restart from scratch. For years, they struggled to mass-produce modern technology until the Soviets finally showed off their newest creation to the public.
With five turrets, three cannons, six machine guns, and a crew of 12, the massive T-35 tank, a land battleship, stunned the Soviet crowds and foreign militaries, once the word leaked out.
T-35 driver Smolyakov Ivan Erastovich recalled his first encounter with the vehicle, saying: [QUOTE]
"Five turrets, barrels sticking out in different directions. You needed a special ladder to climb up it. And it was, well, so huge that word cannot express it. Scary even. And the crew-a whole soccer team!" - Věda a technologie
Though I was aware of the T-35 I never aware of their combat use. Always illuminate. Well done.
David Fletcher’s bit on this tank sums it up.
Russian battle strategy has pretty much always been to throw people at their enemies till they run out of bullets.
They are doing that in the Ukraine right now.
Sad to say we allies often did the same .
That’s not really true. That wasn’t the intention, it’s what Soviet incompetence, corruption, and brutality almost invariably led to.
@@lifestudent2472 Your proof? Oh, that's right, you don't have any.
@@donkeyslayer9879 One example is D-Day we started winning when the Germans started running out of ammunition and machine gun barrels .
That looks like a Submarine Tank in the Thumbnail.
Looks like a tank a five year old child would draw.
Which is probably why we love it the same way we love Scooby-Doo and chocolate sprinkles.
The T 35 was a Ten Year Old Boy's Tank Fantasy DESIGN! he showed to his Oligarch Father and his Gramma Both Said YES!
Basic engineering told all who looked it was a DEAD END!
Actually, that kind of "landship" was a common concept during the '20s and '30s. Many tacticians and strategists during that era thought of the tank as being the land equivalent to a naval dreadnought.
T-35; The Soviet Union in microcosm
5:51 The Battle of Kursk was the largest tank battle in history.
its debated. a lot dont think it is
@@leeboy29680-ol7gf They may think what they want, but it was. The second one was an Israeli-Egypt tank battle of 1973.
To prevent the biggest being a Na*i defeat, revisionist scholars split Kursk into northern and southern fronts: anything to cast shade on the soviet victories.
80 years later and they still cant organise a pissup in a brewery (or even a brovery)
The Soundtrack of this episode would fit in with an early Command & Conquer game.
Title denotes " Land Battleship" but thumbnail shows naval vessel, please explain the coonection.
Not a land battleship, a land battlecruiser.
Must have had lousy range, too.
Would you like a torque wrench na hand me that 16 pound sledge hammer lol great video
Special Military Skidaddle
Imagine being the German that sees that come over the hill!😶
"Hanz, what ze fuck is this? Are ze russians completely bonkerz? Hand me my StuG and let me end ze suffering of zhis abomination"
The British also had such a five-turret tank. 1 pc produced....... Vickers A1E1 Independent -Used to defend the British coast against German invasion.
Communists in Russia and even here in America can’t say , yeah this was a bad idea . They simply paint it a different color and say “ see this will work “ .
sure it wasnt all that effective but god damm does it tickle my fetish of weird looking military vehicles
This Soviet-Russian albatross if built in large numbers would have been a death trap for the men inside. It was like a land battleship with a cruiser armor and aging warship speed. 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗺
Some wag made a comment that the T-35 couldn’t successfully ford a rain puddle in the pavement on Red Square.
was this the "land cruiser"?
inadequate training and poor leadership !! sounds familiar...???
still they beat Germany through their sheer numbers ...
Only after America showed up.
It is a good example of people responding to a previous war gone wrong. With no computers are ways to test there idea's. It is hard to think what is a good idea for war, till war happens. Small tank doctrine was ramped in the west and Japan. The Russian always seems to feel bigger is better. That logic is still in place now.
Best🎉🎉🎉🎉
There was an earlier, smaller but very similar Russian tank to this: the T-28. You would have thought that they would have learned plenty of failings from that. But obviously not.
8:50 It sounds a little familiar to this day's Russian army characteristics in battle against Ukraine.
Half of the video is construction of M3 Grants
T35, t14 same deal
Russia never changes
Hey! This year we had only one tank at the victory day parade! So, something changed...
If it's not broken . . . 🤷
@@amishdeniro Well, THAT ONE definitely wasn't broken...
@@user-yv1ox3mb5oHopefully next year there are no tanks at the parade.
Russia is a trash heap on fire@@amishdeniro
Soviet strategists.....
It was well worth building for them to find out what doesn't really work so by the time the Germans invaded they had something that did. Though the Germans invaded while they weren't quite ready for it so they ended up having to use them out of desperation.
Interesting idea for the times but just not practical.
That would have lasted for minutes in actual combat.
Crew was 10 according to wiki
*Mobile Fortress!*

Unfortunate choice of music; a distraction to a good narrative.
Do any still exist?
The Russians built an operating copy recently, for historical purposes, I am not sure if it as exact copy. You can find photos online.
Actually a very well armored landship with anti fortification equipment on the front might actually be the only thing that can safely break a defensive line and push faster than defenders can make new defenses.
Maybe it is time for the land battleship again. Keeping in mind that the larger the vehicle the more compartments it can have which would limit the effects of penetrations.
WW1 all over again.
“… the size of a small parking lot…”
@@shawnstafford7809 I was referring to a fictional “mobile fortress” - complete with four spiked tracks, multiple turrets, and stuffed with high-as-kites black-dressed witch-soldiers.
Oh, and running a *compression-ignition engine that had a constant big exhaust flame and huge clouds of thick black exhaust smoke.*
existing anti-tank weapons would still be able to destroy the tracks. If it made sense, they would have built it
that is a good point but the US came up with the idea to use multiple sets of tracks on vehicles such as the T95. I would assume an even bigger vehicle would have bigger tracks bigger wheels and more of them for redundancy.
the mine clearing and other anti-fortification equipment on the front would also protect those tracks from mines.

only for empty fields
What has the building and machining of Lee/Grant tank parts got to do with this Soviet tank! Let’s keep the video facts straight please!
the P1000 Ratte was bigger
fun fact, if i had a complete tiger 1, i could make 1200 steel house doors and leaf's that are 30 minutes fire proof each.
Russian tanks multi turrets
American tanks one or two turrets
Russia entire soccer team
America 3-4 man crew
Russia was only good with there sloped armoured during WW2 with the t-34 tank which both Germany and America & British tanks lacked behind in
I bet the FW190s or ME109s had a fun time aiming for the T35 tanks in WW2 from above
🕊️ Of ✌️
St Basils Cathedral?
Can anyone name 1 thing the Russian's have ever made that actually looks esthetically pleasing? I'm drawing a blank...
your mom
I’ve only started to appreciate the styling of a FEW of their military trucks, but everything else they design, looks retarded. Their fighter jets are okay looking, but their bombers, and civilian vehicles are just awful looking. I wonder if the Russians feel the same way about our stuff?
Nesting Dolls, perhaps? It surely can't be a steaming plate of potatoes and borsch. Ugh.
The Flanker series of aircraft. They're beautiful planes. The MiG-21 was cool for its time, and the MiG-29 has a graceful look in the sky. But most Soviet stuff was made under a doctrine of being cheap and able to be operated by conscripts or personnel with minimal experience. To this day, Russia throws bodies and materiel at a conflict and hope they can effectively outlast their opponent.
Those onion shaped churches
Really dislike the new music.
Oooo the Bolshoi Theater !!!
Sputnik
So in the battle back then, Russians were as good as today in Ukraine...Losing...
You think the Russians are losing?
Not what I am seeing.

T35... overhyped, useless soviet piece junk 😂😂😂
Is-2
this was the soviet ''ratte'' .an actual land-ship packed with cannons . the germans had the same idea, but it never came to life. the soviets made it real, way long time before the germans
