Entering service in February of 1944, the T-34-85 was the first large modification to the T-34 tank, adding an 85mm gun designed to counter the German Tiger, and an improved, widened, three-man turret. The design would further be developed and perfected over time, but the original T-34-85 variants would always be the most crucial. The widening of the Turret helped with on of the T-34 main issues, how cramped it was. The T-34 was incredibly tightly packed on the interior, with very little room to work. While not entirely solving this issue, the larger three man turret certainly reduced the strain on tank crews. The larger gun however, was the main selling point of the 34-85. Able to penetrate the frontal armor of a Tiger I at 1,000 metres. It would be the tank that pierced the heart of Berlin, and would lead the invasion of South Korea by the North Koreans, beginning the Korean War.

The BTR family of vehicles are certainly an oddity. Adopted in 1959, the BTR-60 was the true start of the BTR line of amphibious APCs. Seating 14-16 cozy dismounts and 2 crew, the BTR-60 was made to replace the older BTR-152 and BTR-40 vehicles in Soviet service, which were found disappointing largely because of their lack of a roof. With the accompanying decision to restructure many units to the Motor Rifle Division layout, a new, armored APC was needed. Development would lead to two vehicles, the BTR-60, a lighter, cheaper, APC concept designed primarily for offloading infantry in Motor Rifle Divisions, and the more expensive BMP-1, which, while called an APC, was really more of an IFV concept for use in Tank Divisions. The BTR-70 would be an incremental improvement on the 60, while the BTR-80 would be considered a larger modernization effort. The BTR-90 would come into existence in the early 90's, but has mostly only been present on paper.
