Years ago when I played ARNG (misguided idea) and went to Ft. Stewart, I saw some of the soviet era stuff that came back from the middle east fun and games.
I was surprised at how small soviet armor, pc’s, and the like were compared to our stuff. I’d be way too big for armor crew in Ivan’s armor corps. They look like deathtraps and from what I have gathered were.
A weapon of desperation only. It show Confederate Courage and daring if nothing else. They would have been smarter to invest in fast “david” torpedo boats.

The joke on Ivan’s draftee in-processing went like this:

Everyone in between - you’re a supply clerk / warehouse guy.
