RT Documentary: “Cold War Weapons | Tanks: Episode 1”
Following WWII, the nuclear arms race between the United States and the USSR began. Initially, the US had the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, while the Soviet Union had its first nuclear detonation in 1949. In the 1950s nuclear tests were performed regularly. The first episode of the Cold War Weapons focuses on tanks that could potentially withstand an atomic strike.
Host Marina Kosareva visits one of the world's best tank museums in the town of Kubinka. It's the home to unique exhibits of Soviet technology, including Exhibit 279. It looks like a flying saucer, but it's a real-life judgment day weapon. The futuristic vehicle weighs 60 tonnes and reaches speeds of up to 55 kilometres per hour. Exhibit 279's armour is boosted to the max – five times more thick than the T-34. The 279 also has an extra pair of tracks, enabling it to manoeuvre on muddy terrain.
In the meantime, the Americans relied heavily on aviation. The mainstay of their armoured line was the M4 Sherman and M24 Chaffee tanks. In 1945, the US introduced the M26 Pershing. It was put to the test during the Korean War. The model had an extremely thick armour that was almost 20 cm thick in some areas and it was armed with 90 millimetre cannons.

Europe and the United States are silencing Russian voices specifically Russia Today America in the States and RT UK have been closed the first and censored the latter, Mass Media has officially become War Propaganda, The Mass Media is claiming for a Russian Coup to discharge Putin, of course that would be the easy, quick and cheap way….
But, if the world as a whole is strongly divided… isn't it a double-edged sword? With warmongering propaganda such a scenario becomes uncharted territory, the knife is in the air and at any second it can fall on either side, the only thing that stands in the way are human consciences, free speech and truth.
Let's be clear, the sides are between the Old World Order, the dominance and “stability” of the Dollar, and a New World Order (To be controlled by the Deep State, Khazarian Mafias, Soros, Roschitlds, Monarchies, the authors of the eternal Plandemies, Corporate Fascism, Extreme Surveillance and Trans-humanism), they want this New World Order to be eternal, a Chinese Social Credit System where the human being becomes a subject for eternity, Neo-Feudalism where their desires, development and capacities are controlled, with a single narrative and no possibility of dissent, that gentlemen is what is at stake, not a war against Russia… A war against the Human Being, Putin is just a stone that is about to be removed, while we have these few seconds to reflect…
