German vs Soviet Tanks — Escalation to the Cold War (1941–1991) | Part 2

Описание: In Part 2 of this series, we continue the chronological comparison of German and Soviet tanks — from the escalation of World War II to the end of the Cold War.

After 1941, tank warfare entered a new phase. Armor became thicker, guns more powerful, and designs more complex. This part covers the rise of heavy tanks, the response to the T-34, and the evolution toward modern main battle tanks.

As in Part 1, all tanks are shown in the same hangar, from the same angle and under identical lighting — to ensure a fair and consistent comparison.

Germany is always on the left.
The USSR is always on the right.
