Topic: Tank desant


  
  Tank desant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tank desant is a military combined arms tactic, where infantry soldiers would ride into an attack on tanks.
Desant is the Russian word for airborne or parachute drops, but it can be used more generally, describing amphibious landings or "tank desant".
Tank desant troops (tankodesantniki) were specialist infantry, trained in the technique.

 Tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While tanks are expensive to operate and logistically demanding, they are among the most formidable and versatile weapons of the modern battlefield, both for their ability to engage other ground targets and their shock value against infantry.
Tanks are also at a disadvantage in wooded terrain and urban environments, which cancel the advantages of the tank's long-range firepower, limit the crew's ability to detect potential threats, and can even limit the turret's ability to traverse.
Since an immobilised tank is an easy target for mortars, artillery, and the specialised tank hunting units of the enemy forces, speed is normally kept to a minimum, and every opportunity is used to move tanks on wheeled tank transporters and by railway instead of under their own power.

 Soviet Tank Infantry Review by Cookie Sewell (Zvezda 1/35)
They appear to represent a Soviet "tankoviy desant"tank assault landing troops" – in action during fall 1944 or spring 1944 or 1945.
Weapons and some of the "kit" tend to be a bit thick, but swapping them with either Tamiya or DML parts should solve that problem.
Overall, these are very nice figures and if mixed with the Tamiya tank riders should give a suitable spring push for the Soviets to the front.
