Soviet Union

Let's have a thread for Soviet WWII weapons and vehicles.

What are you favorites? I like the Il-2 Sturmovik.

Which are some you think were brilliant, and which do you think were overrated?

Commies were better then US at killing commies, this is a undisputable fact.

I like the Tu-2, though I sometimes mix it up with Pe-2, they look so much alike to me.

Not WW2, but
>here's your 25 ton fighter, comrade

I've never liked anything Soviet from that era except small arms. Give me something to like.

is that their .50 cal?

No, that's the DS-39, a failed Soviet attempt at replacing their old Maxim MGs. It suffered from serious reliability issues that they could never fix, and instead went back to using the Maxim until the SG-43 was developed.

Pic related, a captured SG-43 in AA mount configuration.

Based Slavic user tells us about the Soviet's struggle with VTOL aircraft, and how much of a cunt Yakovlev was

damn that's nice

Good post.

That was a good read.

What would seem to be the Matveyev Turbolet (though the museum sign just says "Flying Stand" and "Experimental flying machine").

And the Yak-36

Weird that there's not many specific Soviet WW2 things I like, but I can admire the overall look of their equipment and the spirit it invokes of "We don't really have the best, but we have a lot and we will succeed with it."
When it comes to the Cold War then there are numerous Soviet designs I like.

I remember seeing that being posted, but not being able to read it all. Thanks for sharing.

Always find YAK series ugly as fug. Exept of those who participated in World War II. Maybe I'm just a retrograde
