Primorski Krai: Russky Island – Tanks & More

Besides the Voroshilov Battery (see previous post), Russky Island also has a display of Soviet/Russian military equipment from the days of WWII to almost today. It’s all about tanks and related vehicles here – all T-series medium battle tanks, light amphibious tanks, heavy IS-series tanks, tank destroyers, and various BTR-series armored personnel carriers. Add in Katusha rockets, mobile artillery guns, and even torpedos – and you got a good picture of what the Soviet military had at its disposal throughout the second half of the 20th century.
