Egypt received a number of tanks from the Soviet bloc, including a handful of IS-3s. The tanks were shown in the Independence Day parade #OTD in 1956, but used in battle only a decade later in the Six Day War. #tanks #history #ColdWar

OTD in 1941 Porsche's Tiger tank project split into three different directions with different transmissions: Typ 101, Typ 102, and Typ 103. The Typ 103 was considered the most promising, but in the end they all lost to Henschel's project. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Mobility trials of the SU-101 and SU-102 began #OTD in 1945. The trials revealed a big problem with heat in the driver's compartment, which was insufficiently insulated from the forward mounted engine. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

A T-50 tank with the serial number K-11217 was lost #OTD in 1941 near Petrozavodsk. The tank was later recovered and used by the Finns with registration number Ps.183-1. This tank can now be seen at the Parola tank museum. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
