Summary of Craziest Soviet Machines You Won't Believe Exist - Part 1

00:00:00 - 00:25:00

This video covers some of the craziest Soviet machines ever made, including a truck with a length of nearly 74 feet and a missile launcher that was nearly the size of a six-story building. Unfortunately, the Soviet Union collapsed before the projects could be completed, so none of these machines were ever actually used in combat.

• 00:00:00 The video covers some of the craziest Soviet vehicles, including the 2b1 Oka artillery model, the 1k17 Satya laser tank, and the Sveno project aircraft. All of these designs were eventually abandoned for various reasons.
• 00:05:00 The chain link project involved a bomber that had been specially modified not to carry bombs but smaller fighter planes. It was an out of the box plan to save fuel on the front lines as bombers were much more fuel efficient than the smaller fighters after takeoff. The fighters docked with the carrier while in flight by using some special fastenings and once they were all strapped down, the bomber flew them off into the fight and refueled them on the way. Each of these amazing motherships could carry up to five fighters and each fighter was loaded up with around 1,000 pounds of bombs. Even though these creative craft were used successfully at the beginning of World War II, the SVENDO project wasn't developed any further during the wartime technology boom. These aircraft quickly became obsolete and were replaced by state-of-the-art fighter jets. The design didn't fly with the military, but I wonder if the project found a home in the soviet circus scene. The antonov a40 is it a bird is it a plane, no it's a tank with wings. This astonishing soviet prototype was built almost 80 years ago to determine if gliding a tank straight onto a battlefield was possible. However, during the project's made in flight,
• 00:10:00 This video shows some of the craziest Soviet machines that still exist, including a 245-unit sub that could have caused a nuclear accident on par with the infamous Chernobyl disaster. Other machines include a biplane crop duster from Poland that was never produced due to its high maintenance costs, and an ikranoplan boat plane hybrid that could travel at speeds of 340 miles per hour.
• 00:15:00 This YouTube video introduces various Soviet machines that were bizarre and alien-looking but had potentially huge implications for aviation. Among these are the Bartini-Bari VVA-14 all-terrain vehicle and the Kalinin K7 tracked vehicle. Neither design was ever actually put into production, but their legacy lives on in the Star Wars franchise.
• 00:20:00 This YouTube video discusses some of the craziest Soviet machines that you may not believe actually existed. Some of these machines include the Kalinin K7, the Tsar Tank, and the Maz547. Each of these machines had unique capabilities that made them unique and one-of-a-kind. However, all of these machines were failures in terms of actually being used in combat.
