This is a short bit of film on the T-28/95 motor gun carriage, though there are many stills of the one remaining vehicle, this is the first MoPic footage I have seen.

Interesting, but the actual vehicles weren’t actually must faster than the static display.
Thanx for the clip…looks like a beast.
I see that it has four tracks…the worlds first 4x4.
Coincidence,I was just browsing a page about the WW2 vehicles and saw these pictures of the T-28 at the Patton Museum in Ft Knox, Kentucky.
Good pics rudeerude…a very impressive looking tank.
It’s not a tank I tell you…
The term “Tank” is a generic catch all used by most folks in describing a tracked, armored, large gun toting vehicle.much as “car” is used for any type of automobile whether a convertible, (59’ Caddy Eldorado) or a coupe, sedan, or Saloon.
Thank you tankgeezer…
The barrel trepidation is noticeable, and IS NOT firing, the vehicle must be nose heavy as hell. Kind of atractive monster.
Its going over the “washboard” a purposely bumpy stretch of road, probably to see how the power train, and suspension manages the vehicle’s weight,( and maybe the crew’s ability to keep from spilling the whisky ration )
I will say this, if you have total air control and excellent artillery support, then such a tank, even going slow, would roll over whatever was in the way no matter how dug in.
Deaf
Looks like he’s taking the dog for a walk. (Actually, the T-28 is drafting the Stuart, that way he can make a cool 14mph downhill.)
very interesting clip.
