Fighting the forces of Chaos, I imagine. That looks like it belongs in the Imperial Guard.

Skywhale hunting tank, obviously.

[Bauglir]

Ah, yes, the deadly Siberian Skywhale. Responsible for dozens of deaths every year, and it's sexually attracted to military parades, to boot.

I'm not sure if it was real or not but I remember reading/watching something about the USSR experimenting with using some sort of nuclear powered system for seeding fields or something.

Also that looks like a death ray or something.

Well, there's this.

[Moghjubar]

Is that a giant vacuum? Because it appears designed to suck.

Here's another Soviet project:


Guess the purpose of this thing.

Can't see it, so I'm guessing its purpose is to be invisible.

Soviet T-54 tank armed with a jet engine for detecting and clearing out minefields with blasts of heat.

Here's another Soviet project:

Guess the purpose of this thing.

According to my findings, it uses a mounted jet engine to detonate land mines with heat.

edit: ninja!

Exactly!
The official designation of this thing is "Gasdynamic minesweeper Progrev-T" (Газодинамический тральщик "Прогрев-Т") Прогрев/Progrev means "Warm up" in English.
It was used by Soviet forces in Afghanistan, striking awe in hearts of everyone with its look.
I've heard that a group of engineers in Canada tried to build a similar minesweeping vehicle in 1946. They've attached two jet engines to a RAM II tank. It was found out during testing that the jet stream failed to trigger the mines. Instead, it sent them flying around the test site like frisbees. The vehicle was put into use at a local airfield as a snowblower.

[stabbymcstabstab]

could you use that thing to make a cannon? Imagine putting in a massive load of buck shot in that thing.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

One of my unspoken serious guesses was, in fact, a flechette tank.

This needs to become a sport. It'd be, like, I'unno. Air hockey mixed with extreme Frisbee, shrapnel mine edition.

And that's how Canada conquered the world. Not with any weapon of mass destruction - but an endless rain of hockey pucks, descending from the sky.

Speaking of tanks and sport. Have you heard about tank biathlon?
