	Tsar Kolokol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tsar Kolokol (Russian: Царь–колокол, literally "Tsar of bells") is a huge bell still on display in the Moscow Kremlin.
		In 1836, Tsar Kolokol was placed on a stand next to the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in the Kremlin.
		The word 'Tsar' in Tsar Kolokol potentially refers to the supposedly common Russian practice of constructing absurdly large objects of various design (such as Tsar Bomba, the world's largest nuclear bomb, or the Tsar Tank, a monumentally huge and unwieldy tank) as a show of prowess or power.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Tsar Bomba
		The term "Tsar Bomba" harkens to the historical Russian practice of building impractically large things as shows of power or prowess, e.g., a massive bell (Tsar Kolokol), the world's largest cannon (Tsar Pushka), and the unwieldy Tsar Tank.
		The weight and size of the Tsar Bomba limited the range and speed of the specially modified bomber carrying it, and ruled out its delivery by an ICBM (although on, December 24, 1962, a 50MT ICBM warhead developed by Chelyabinsk-70 was detonated at 24.2 megatons to reduce fallout).
		Soviets restarted their tests two months before Tsar Bomba, and there was no de-jure moratorium in place at the time (the USA had already announced that it considered itself free to resume testing after further notice).

	Tsar' - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Tsar'
		Ivan (IV) the Terrible, the grand duke of Muscovy, was crowned the first tsar of Russia in 1547.
		In 1721 Peter (I) the Great officially changed the title to ‘emperor of all Russia’ as part of his efforts to reorganize and modernize his country on Western lines.
		However, the title of ‘tsar’ continued in popular use for subsequent Russian rulers until Nicholas II was deposed by the Russian Revolution in 1917.

	A Very Tsarry Show
		There was catastrophic dysfunction in the last days of Imperial Russia, yet the Wilmington exhibit chooses to interpret the history as merely a case of the wrong man at the wrong time, ignoring the cancerous decay of a nation that Nicholas personified.
		These events are depicted in the show as mere footnotes in the life of a loving father and husband, and not the colossal foibles of a leader of a great power.
		Ironically, one of the few mentions of Jewish life under the Tsar Nicholas in the Wilmington exhibit was the inclusion of a handmade booklet presented by the Jewish community of Kishinev to Nicholas and Alexandria on the occasion of their wedding.

	The Russian WW1 Lebedenko (or Tsar) Tank
		The Russian Lebedenko or ”Tsar Tank”, is without doubt the most strange Armoured Fighting vehicle ever constructed.
		It should, however, not be dismissed purely as another hare-brained scheme, but must be seen against the backdrop of the early tank development that was taking place at this time, and that in all countries was very experimental, and leading to many curious and non-functional designs.
		Then the model was demonstrated to Tsar Nikolaj, who was much impressed when the toy made it across some scale obstacles, i.e.

		The tanks were put into action under very demanding conditions in a large area near Litohoro, Macedonia and the tests included (among many others) movement, maneuvering, obstacle passing, trench crossing and of course, firinig ability.
		The tank is equipped with a modern fire control and sighting system which includes computerized ballistic calculations and compensations, a dual axes stabilized gunner sight and a dual axis stabilized commander panoramic sight, both equipped with an advanced FLIR and TV channels for day and night operation.
		The T-72M1 tank has also the deep fording equipment, smoke screen thermal generating unit, launchers system to generate the smoke screens, fire fighting system to extinguish the fire inside the tank, sending-receiving radio set, interphone and moreover is equipped with attachments for self-entrenching and for making the ways on minefields.

		The Hailfire-class droid tank was a self-aware mobile missile platform capable of destroying entire platoons of enemy soldiers.
		However, this tank never made it past the prototype stage, being deemed too unwieldy and vulnerable to enemy artillery fire.

	The wierd, wonderful and impractical \| MetaFilter
		A fitting companion to the Tsar Cannon ("It has never been used, however, and may in fact have been intended as a showpiece of military might and engineering from the beginning...
		The cannonballs on display by the Tsar Cannon were never intended for use, and are in fact of a larger diameter than the cannon will accept") and the Tsar Bell ("Unfortunately, the bell was never rung").
		So I don't recall of the 'rules' for modern tank design but the fact is they are heavily constrained by physical factors and the decision of where to focus on the 'design triangle' of firepower vs maneuverability(speed) vs protection.

	Review of KORA:s 1/72 Lebedenko or Tsar Giant WW1 Tank
		It must, however, be seen against the backdrop of the early tank development that was taking place at this time, and that in all countries was very experimental, and leading to many curious and non-functional designs.
		The history of the Lebedenko starts in 1914 with the engineer N. Lebedenko, who came up with the idea of a motordriven battle machine, weighing some 40 tons, running on one small double-wheel, and two very large spoked wheels, almost 9 meter in diameter, in a tri-cycle arrangement.
		So the tank stood there, bogged down, for the rest of the war.

		A spectacularly impractical early armored ‘car’ was the Russian Tsar Tank of 1915, a sort of tricycle with nine-meter wheels.
		Their appearance is less confrontational and threatening than tanks, and their size and maneuverability is more compatible with tight urban spaces designed for wheeled vehicles.
		Besides the armor itself, many other protective modifications are available: fire extinguisher, run-flat tires, an explosion-resistant fuel tank, remote starting of the car, pressure and temperature control of the tires, a siren or alarm, and an intercom between the exterior and interior of the car.

	Armored Cars
		At the beginning of the 20th century a number of military armored vehicles were manufactured by adding armor and weapons to existing vehicles: armored tractors, armored cars, and armored trains are known.
		A prototype vehicle fully designed for a military purpose was the Tsar Tank, tested in Russia in August, 1915, however the design proved to be a fiasco.
		Armored cars are used in peacekeeping or internal security duties, where their appearance is less confrontational or threatening than tanks, their size and mobility are more in fitting with the urban environment and road damage is minimal.
