The USSR was relatively late in adopting armoured weapons, but then so consistently that by the mid-1930s it already had more tanks than the rest of the world. After the first battles, which were disastrous for the Soviets, the Red Army finally surprised not only its wartime opponent with modern armoured combat vehicle developments. Victor Shunkov's second volume on the weapons of the Red Army in World War II provides a complete overview of the armoured vehicles of the Soviet Union of the time - from the heavy KW-1 to the medium T-34 and the "Tiger" rival IS-2.
