A victory parade with the participation of military equipment took place in Nizhny Tagil. T-72B3, T-90M "Proryv" and the "veteran" T-35-85 tanks drove along the main street of the city. All armored vehicles were manufactured at Uralvagonzavod.
Almost 26 thousand T-34
During the Great Patriotic War, the Ural Tank Plant No. 183 (now Uralvagonzavod, UVZ) sent 25,914 T-34 tanks to the Soviet troops. That is, one enterprise accounted for almost 40% of the volume of tanks that Germany produced in 9 years.
Every second tank that fought on the fronts came off the assembly line of the Ural Tank Plant
The first representative of the Tagil school of tank building is the legendary T-34-85. The characteristics laid down in it have been developed and improved for more than 80 years. Today's engineers have replaced the design and materials, but left the design and construction principles the same.
The press service of UVZ added that the company has always preferred reliability, efficiency, versatility, ease of maintenance and mastering of equipment to beautiful solutions. In addition, an important feature of these combat vehicles was the possibility of repair in the field.
The T-34-85 ideally suited the Soviet tanker, just as modern UVZ tanks are reliable assistants to Russian soldiers
