Those crazy Russians!

In the 50s, the soviets made an odd tank called "object 279". This special purpose tank was intended to fight on cross country terrain, inaccessible to conventional tanks, acting as a heavy breakthrough tank, and if necessary withstanding even the shockwave of a nuclear explosion. It was planned as a tank of the Supreme Command Reserve.

    @Smasher thats only a small portion of the population. The rest (hopefully) does more reasonable stuff. Like driving around in a circle at 180+ mph.

    @Smasher why chase a tank anyway? It's extremely dangerous and probably illegal.

    @Gmanndo1000 what not every Russian is crazy I'm a tad mad but no where near as loco as some British people no offence to any British but I guess Russia is the only country you'll see a tank and its driver driving as fast as it can because a lot of people chasing it
