Russian Land-Battleship KV-VI by VonBrrr

Still not enough dakka

Reliable comrade.

This tanks actually not real.
The Tank Encyclopedia got a article on the tank:
www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2…

Oh god the Russians are packing heat! Were doom!

/slow clapping/
Really astonishing work.
But it doesn't compare to the depth of autism in the comments from people who call it and P.1500 as actual concepts(unlike Ratte... which they call a project instead of basically a doodle on a handkerchief and piece of disinformation fed to allies) and not internet made fakes they are.
Ah, a few generations from now on, their children would believe that it was a real vehicle that really fought in WW2... when angelic americans had defeated german zombies and russian demons with laser guns.
Stop the Earth, I'm leaving

You seriously have no clue how much I wish this fucking crazy ass design went into at least minor production LMFAO

I've read the story over the Russian bememoth. Although it has lots of technical issues, this would be the last hope to end all the wars.

I knew I recognized this land battleship. Here's a video with them in it.

Oh my god, Imagine having something like this in real life, but I have to say it's pretty cool though.

This picture became very famous alongside the KV-VI. Congratz on the success.

Thanks!  Was just looking for an image of the P.1000 and came across this.  Love the story!  "They said I was daft to build a triple-tank- but I built it just the same.  And, it blew itself up.  So, I built a second one- that one broke in two, fell into a ravine, and blew up.  So I built a third one- that one fired a full broadside, fell over and blew up. . ."

Was this based off a real ww2 tank concept by stalim?

I created this as a hypothetical and fun modeling project...I never intended it to be fake or a hoax.  The artwork is very col but he figure are a bit small.

I imagine this tank in World of Tanks. It would be so cool.

I imagine, much like the KV-4, if it existed this was simply intended to be a challenge for Soviet tank designers, and that it would've been built more for the sake of national prestige than actual combat use. By the time this tank would've been drafted, it would've been well known that the already mass-produced T-35 and T-28 suffered many problems; this design would've therefore been an attempt to make a more effective multi-turreted design. The T-26 turrets mounting 45mm guns may have been used as ranging guns and/or against infantry and soft targets not worth spending large shells (which take time to load, and which take up more space so fewer can be carried) on. They weren't AA guns by design, but could serve in a pinch, rather like how infantry occasionally used anti-tank rifles against aircraft with limited success.

Aw... Never even existed? Damn. Still, would have been awesome.

Brilliant illustration, like something dreamt up by H.G Wells

Turning circle would be insane. Anything less than a few times it's own length would rip the tracks off.

I would so build this as a model. I'd need to assemble it from several kits.
The only turret that doesn't work is the one at #14, since it couldn't rotate to the other side. But then again I'd probably put it on there anyway just for fun!
And I think for #7 I'd replace that with a pair of AA MGs.

Uhhh there's just one slight problem with it..... Its called the
A-10 thunderbolt II (or A-1 Skyhawk)

You're a bastard! This image has been floating around the internet for a while now, and many people think it's real. Despite how ridiculous this machine is, it's not surprising the Russians would've tried to build something like this.

You should have put some sort of indication somewhere in the image what this is supposed to be: just a concept.

it was just a rumor,the biggest tank that was closest to realisation in USSR was the KV-5,a 100-ton tank.the project was complete in august 1941,but the construction was cancelled because the nazis got too close to Leningrad and all the resources were thrown to modify the kv-1's and t-34's. the only half-finished prototype even close to 100-ton mass was a KV-3 chassis,which was much bigger and longer than standart KV,had powerful engine,standart turret and weaponry. It was sent to Leningrad region,but durning an attempt of crossing a bridge over the Tosna river it was hit by german 150-mm gun and it's ammo exploded. Even with mass close to 100 tons the ground was barerly holding this tank, the soil in this region is very wet and soft almost always. this tank would literally sink into the ground.

Looks like one of those Matchbox playsets

When I first noticed this while derping around the web, I thought it was a photoshopped KV-1 with a couple BT-7 turrets, some KV-1 turrets, a little bit of rocket launcher, and a photoshopped KV-1 turret as the main gun... This is a case of some drunk guys getting together and saying,"I bet you can't make a tank with 7 turrets and a rocket launcher", or Stalin telling a guy that they need a tank that will make the enemy die of a heart attack...

So the Nazis proposed the Landkreuzers P1000 and P1500 and the Soviet's response is this, hmm I wonder, did the Western Allies have something analogue to these?
