Recently we made a video on the first ever production jet fighter, the iconic German Me. 262. It’s hard to overstate the importance of that aircraft… but just a few months into its service, it already had a proper rival. In July 1944, the Royal Air Force were already using the Gloster Meteor.
Today we’re speaking about the tracked Kalashnikovs — the T-54 and the T-55. These fearsome, reliable vehicles served in South America, Africa, in the Finnish snow or the jungles of Vietnam!
