In the first period of the Cold War all the forces of Soviet science was participated in create perfect weapon. In 1958 started a secret Soviet project to create a robot-cyborg.
Scientific advisor was Nobel Laureate W. Manuilov. In designing a robot except for Designers were doctors and engineers.
In experiments to confirm the safety for humans could choose for test: mice, rats and dogs. The variant of the experiments on monkeys, but the choice fell on the dogs because they are more amenable to training and quieter than a monkey.
Subsequently, the project received the name of "COLLIE" and lasted almost 10 years. But the decree of the Central Committee from January 4, 1969 activities of the project, "Colley" has been discontinued, the information was "top secret" ...
All data on project "COLLIE " were declassified....

"Triton" - a unique home-made amphibious created by D. Kudryachkovym (Moscow). Unlike other cars in this class, on the water machine is a speedboat with a water-jet-engine able to develop on the water speed of 50 km / h.
The car was originally equipped with the engine from GAZ-21, working together with the gearbox of ZAZ-968 and allows on road to accelerate to 110 km / h. The number of passenger seats - 4 and the so-called " variant for guest" (during the voyage or) - 8. Fuel consumption was 12 liters on land and 34-38 liters of water.

1949. Between the Soviet Union and America - the "cold war" and what to do if a nuclear war destroyed all stocks of fuel?
And in the USSR started project for create trucks on a couple and fuel for these trucks were...... firewood!
in 1948 was built by an experienced NAMI-012 chassis YAZ-200 (later MAZ-200). Features: three-cylinder steam engine was quite familiar: power - 100 hp, engine rpm - up to 1250 per minute. And the size and weight were even lower than that of diesel engine with manual transmission. True, had heaviest (about one ton) "boiler".
Function lever Gearbox (the box itself is, of course, did not exist) served lever cutoff steam distribution mechanism: provides three cut-off "forward " (25, 40 and 75% filling of the cylinder) and one "back". In the cockpit was three Pedals, as usual, but to squeeze need the clutch only for downshifts.
Following the prototype had been built two more (in late 1949 and mid 1950): they differed more rounded booths . It is curious that this truck tested as truck and tractor.
Tests was conducted in conditions close to the fighting. Frosts reached 40 degrees, water is poured from a nearby lake ... Finally truck a run on the route from Moscow to Yaroslavl and back: first truck - 16,000 kilometers, second - 26 000.
However, as noted in the articles of the time, "in empty due to the heavy weight falling on the front axle the steam car has deteriorated passability. Apparently, on a forest road machine simply was stuck!
Therefore, in 1953, built a fourth copy - all-wheel drive NAMI-018.
This truck had a new transmission: when the rear wheels "slip", began "pulling" front wheels(советская "ABS system"). According to the sources of those years, the patency of NAMI-018 did not yield the most powerful diesel trucks at the time - MAZ-501.
1954...
Stalin, by then long dead, the camps in Siberia were empty, the party changed its course ... And this trucks simply were not needed.
It is now impossible to establish the true causes of their birth, but there is one suggestion. It is not excluded that truck had to play the same role in national defense, and that countless locomotives working on a couple of, standing on sidings. If a nuclear war actually was started then of fuel in the country would remain only wood.... фnd this truck should come in handy! Very well that is not come in handy)
Where and when were cut into scrap this unique Soviet trucks - history is silent ...

In the late 40s - early 50s in the Soviet Union were working on creating a floating tank and a floating APC, to transport personnel and equipment. Defeated the PT-76 and BTR-50, but they were not the only contenders. On the basis of a floating tank K-90 was created but is now forgotten floating armored K-78.
In the summer of 1950 at SAS № 2 was created first a prototype.
Fighting vehicle weight 10.76 tonnes had with an open top enclosure, welded from rolled armor plates up to 15 mm. It contains: 2 crew members and 22 infantry or paratroopers, landing and landing are performed through the stern door,Weapon - Gun SG-43 7,62 mm - mounted to an arm in front of the left side of the assault crew compartment. Ammunition gun - 1000 rounds. The engine, transmission, chassis and engine of navigable were the same as a tank K-90. Maximum speed when driving on the highway - 34.3 km / h, afloat - 9,7 km / h. Cruising on the highway was 180 - 200 km, afloat - 80 km.
The machine turned out not bad, but at the end of summer 1950 work to create K-90 stoped ...

Object 757
At the tested in 1960 years this tank made furore. He destroy any armor with one shot. The whole essence was in munitions.
Instead shells used anti-tank guided missiles Rubin. Missile guidance produced by the infrared beam.
Ammunition in tank: unguided missiles and conventional ammunition.
This tank was created design bureau of Chelyabinsk Kirov Plant under the leadership of PP Isakov. Antitank Missile System (ATGM), "Rubin" Kolomna KBM developed under the leadership of BI Shavyrina. Vehicle Crew consisted of three people.
As the main weapons used 125 mm rifled gun D-126S with the loading mechanism. The gun-launcher designed by OKB-9 UZTM and it was a recoilless rifle system with the rifle barrel.
As a secondary weapon used coaxial 7,62 mm machine gun SGMT. Anti-aircraft machine gun on an experimental machine was not.
Now a little about PTR Rubin. Caliber rockets, of course, was 125 mm, length 1.5 m. The missile had cumulative warhead and was capable of penetrating the armor of 500 mm - assured destruction of any Western armored vehicle.. Rate of fire was 4-5 rounds per minute and firing range was up to 4000 m.
Engine used: 4-stroke 12-cylinder diesel V-12-6F power of 850 hp with ejection cooling system.
For destruction target is was to keep the beam on the target ... but the enemy may establish smoke guard system and this tank becomes useless.

Thanks for posting. Those are weird and wild vehicles.
Self-propelled artillery unit based on the T-10 - "Oka"and "Condensator- 2P".
With the use of the power plant and chassis components, vehicle tank T-10 were designed heavy-duty self-propelled guns capable of firing nuclear tactical warheads. Caliber gun manufacturers are determined ad hoc (including nuclear) weapons: at the time their diameter was not less than 400 mm, and the range of fire claims up to 25 km.
The development of these self-propelled tracked chassis was conducted in 1954 were: manufactured two prototypes. One of them - "2 " Condensator "with 406-mm howitzer (" Object 271 ") established at the Leningrad Kirov Plant under the guidance of Kokurina. Other - 420-mm mortar "Oka" ("Object 273") designed to Kolomna KBM.
To accommodate such powerful artillery systems on built chassis with a special springs and hydraulic shock absorbers which partially absorb the energy of impact. Both of them were accepted for service. Installing a 406-mm howitzer received index 2AZ, 420-mm mortar - 2B1. LKZ and was asked to produce the first batch.
In 1957 both cars were at a military parade on Red Square, causing great interest among foreign troops.

I find it fascinating the completely different approaches and thinkin the SSR used than the ole US. I can tell you some of these ideas are pure inovation.
in our country has always been .. so your Abrams - a useless pile of iron on our roads)) (but only do not be offended) ...
I found a new information ... but I have recently (April 21), born a daughter and now she takes it all the time)))Loved all the pictures great thread.
p.s Soon to be continued this theme !)
