Описание: Battlefield Frankenstein: — The Soviet Improvised Tank

In 1941, with a city surrounded and real armor gone, engineers made an impossible decision—turn farm tractors into convincing battlefield weapons. What followed was one of the most effective deception operations in modern warfare, where sound, silhouette, and fear mattered more than steel.

This video tells the true story of how improvised “tractor tanks” fooled an entire opposing force during the siege of Odessa—and why perception can be as powerful as firepower.
