Description
X-66 Mammoth was a heavy assault tank.Acting on the orders of Joseph Stalin , Soviet engineers created the Mammoth Tank, the heaviest tank ever produced in that conflict, to counter the increasing threat of the Allies' latest tank . Mounting twin 120mm cannons complimented by two Mammoth Tusk missile pods and extremely heavy armor, it is truly the last word in conventional vehicle technology. The enormous chassis is supported by a pair of threads on each side. The turret is plugged into the hull with a relatively thin screw-like extension. There is no large turret well and the turret is a self-contained module with no crew transfer being possible between the turret and hull. The turret aiming and rotation mechanism is automated so much as it aims directly at its intended target swiftly. The vehicle is equipped to carry out limited battlefield repairs independently. In addition to being a threat to ground targets, the tank's missiles could also engage aircraft.
Made with the Soviet Union.
