Hello. I have a fancy to write a series of short articles on who could have invented the tank, so far I have done Leonardo da Vinci and H G Wells. I know of the Mendeleev tank, Vezdekhod (vezdepod whatever !!!), Tsar tank, Rybinsk 20 ton tank etc, but I know that Blinov came up with a tracked tractor in the late 19th century. Was there ever a design that put guns and armour on his tractor? Is there some other Russian project that could, with a big stretch of the imagination, be considered the first tank?
Obviously, this 'project' is a tiny speck of history and a bucketful of speculation, similar to all the shows on The History Channel and Erich von Däniken's collected works. I hope they can be put on Landships here and Landships Facebook. I hope our wonderful website isn't quite dead just yet.
