<description>Chinese Army ZRY-222 &amp; &quot;Robot Wolves&quot; Robotic Ground Combat System

 

ZRY-222 is a tracked unmanned combat ground vehicle designed to support PLA ground forces with a mix of reconnaissance, fire support, and risk-reduction roles. Built on a compact remote-operated chassis, it typically carries a heavy machine gun and anti-armour or multi-purpose missiles, allowing it to engage targets without exposing crews. Its sensors and communication suite enable operation across difficult terrain and integration with wider battlefield networks, giving commanders a small, mobile platform that can scout ahead, provide covering fire, or operate as part of a mixed manned–unmanned group.
Quadrupedal “Robot Wolves” are medium-sized autonomous ground systems developed to accompany infantry units and robotic formations in reconnaissance, fire support, and logistics roles. Weighing around 70 kg and designed to move over complex or uneven terrain, they can climb obstacles, maintain formation with troops, and carry sensors or weapons depending on the variant. Their networked architecture allows them to share real-time information with humans and other unmanned systems, contributing to distributed surveillance and coordinated targeting.

<description>Chinese Army ZTZ-100 Main Battle Tank

 

The ZTZ-100 (Type 100) is a fourth-generation main battle tank (MBT) developed for the People&#039;s Liberation Army (PLA). First displayed publicly during the 2025 Victory Day Parade, the vehicle is scheduled for induction into the PLA Ground Force between 2025 and 2026. Its design incorporates an unmanned turret and a three-person crew capsule located within the hull.
Primary armament is a 105 mm autoloaded gun. Secondary armament consists of a remote weapon station (RWS) mounting a 30 mm autocannon and a 12.7 mm machine gun for anti-infantry and light-armour engagements. Protection is provided by a combination of passive composite armour and a dual GL-6 Active Protection System (APS) intended to intercept guided missiles and top-attack munitions.
The vehicle utilises a 1,500 hp hybrid diesel-electric powertrain, providing a top speed of approximately 80 km/h (50 mph) and a reduced acoustic and thermal signature. As a network-integrated platform, the ZTZ-100 functions as a data node, linking with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), artillery, and other combat units for cooperative targeting and beyond-visual-range engagements.
The ZTZ-100 indicates a shift in Chinese armoured doctrine towards lighter, automated platforms. The design prioritises electronic integration and situational awareness over the traditional heavy-tank mass found in earlier ZTZ-96 or ZTZ-99 variants.

<description>US Army M28A1/A2 Super Assault Tank

 

While the Super Heavy T28 never entered production, this version of the Takom kit explores the T28&#039;s &#039;mythical evolution&#039;, imagining how the vehicle might have been standardised for service. &#039;M28A1&#039; and &#039;M28A2&#039; are purely speculative nomenclature; they envisage a &#039;what if&#039; scenario where the T28 was fitted with either the 155 mm T7 or 120 mm T53 guns—armaments that were actually tested on the subsequent T30 and T34 Heavy Tank prototypes.
The kit: Hatches can be fitted open or closed. Moveable suspension and road wheels. Clear parts, photo-etch, metal T53 120mm &amp; T7 155mm gun barrels included. Workable tracks with assembly jig. Choice of 4 markings. (Figure not included).. Price:&amp;pound;44.16</description>

<description>US Army T28 Super Heavy Tank/Gun Motor Carriage T95
The T28, temporarily redesignated 105mm Gun Motor Carriage T95, was an American experimental super-heavy armoured vehicle developed during the final stages of the Second World War. Designed to break through heavily fortified German defensive lines along the Siegfried Line, the vehicle prioritised extreme frontal armour protection over speed or tactical mobility. Lacking a turret, its 105mm T5E1 gun was mounted in a fixed casemate, while power was provided by a Ford GAF-V-8 engine.

To distribute its immense weight, the T28/T95 employed a distinctive quadruple track configuration, with the two outer track units removable for transport. The end of the war and changing armoured doctrine rendered the concept obsolete, and the programme was cancelled. Only two prototypes were completed, one of which survives at Fort Benning (briefly known as Fort Moore), Georgia USA, as a rare example of late-war American super-heavy armour experimentation.

<description>Israeli Army M51 &quot;Degem Alef&quot; Medium Tank

In the late 1950s, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) sought to extend the life of its large inventory of M4 Shermans, acquired from various sources after 1948. The M51 was the final and most advanced of Israel’s Sherman upgrades. The Hebrew designation “Degem Alef” (Model A) refers to the first production configuration, re-armed with a 105 mm D.1508 cannon, re-armed with a 105 mm D.1508 cannon – a modified, reduced-recoil version of the French CN-105-F1.

<description>US Army M4A1(76w) Sherman VVSS Medium Tank Late Production

The M4A1(76)W VVSS was a late-production variant of the U.S. Sherman medium tank, combining the improved 76 mm gun and safer ammunition stowage with the earlier VVSS suspension system.
•	M4A1: Cast-hull design with the characteristic rounded appearance.
•	76 mm gun: Replaced the earlier 75 mm gun, offering better anti-armour performance.
•	“W”: Indicates wet ammunition stowage, significantly reducing the risk of fire when hit.
•	VVSS (Vertical Volute Spring Suspension): The original Sherman suspension system, lighter and narrower than HVSS. On late-production 76 mm Shermans it was refined with wider “duckbill” end-connectors to improve flotation.
Produced during late 1944, the M4A1(76)W VVSS served in north-west Europe alongside its HVSS counterpart. Although eventually overshadowed by the HVSS-equipped versions, the VVSS late-production M4A1 remained widely used during the final months of the war and continued in service with several post-war allied armies.

<description>Soviet Navy PR 7 &#039;Gremyashchiy&#039; Destroyer 1942

The Soviet destroyer GREMYASHCHIY (meaning ‘Thunderous’) was a key vessel of the Northern Fleet and one of the most active Soviet destroyers during World War II.

Classified as Project 7 (NATO Gnevny class), GREMYASHCHIY was built in Leningrad and commissioned on August 28, 1938. The destroyer had a standard displacement of approximately 1,600 tons. Powered by geared steam turbines, it could achieve speeds up to 37 knots. Its length was approximately 112.8 m. Armament was substantial, centred on four 130 mm B-13 main guns and two triple 533 mm torpedo tubes. For defence, it carried a mix of anti-aircraft weaponry, including 76.2 mm and 45 mm AA guns, 12.7 mm machine guns, and had the capacity for up to 60 mines and depth charges for anti-submarine warfare.

Wartime Service (1941–1945)
Operating in the challenging Arctic waters, GREMYASHCHIY&#039;s service was most intense during the critical Arctic convoy escort duty in 1942. The vessel was instrumental in protecting the PQ and QP convoys, which delivered vital Allied supplies (Lend-Lease) to Murmansk and Archangel. It frequently engaged with German aircraft, U-boats, and larger units of the Kriegsmarine based in Norway.
GREMYASHCHIY survived the war and continued in service into the 1960s and ultimately scrapped in 1969.

<description>US Army M911/M747 Heavy Equipment Transporter
M911 Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) is a military truck tractor used by the U.S. Army primarily for hauling heavy armoured vehicles, including tanks, self-propelled artillery, and engineering equipment. C-HET (Commercial Heavy Equipment Transporter) is a designation used by the U.S. Army for a heavy-duty military truck tractor. The C-HET designation typically applies when commercially sourced vehicles are modified to meet military specifications, including reinforced frames, military-grade electrical systems, and armour options.

Type M911 was introduced in the 1970s and served as a replacement for older tank transporters. It was later succeeded by the M1070 HET, which offered improved performance and higher payload capacity. Although phased out of frontline U.S. Army service, some M911s remain in use globally with allied nations and private operators for heavy haulage.

Model M747 is a U.S. military 60-ton low-bed semi-trailer developed for use with the M911 C-HET (Commercial Heavy Equipment Transporter) tractor unit. Entering service in the late 1970s M747 was designed to transport heavy tracked vehicles such as tanks, bulldozers, and recovery vehicles across roads and moderate terrain. The gooseneck design distributes weight efficiently, while sixteen rear wheels provide stability and traction. Although later replaced by systems like the HET M1070 with M1000 trailer, the M747 remained in service through the Gulf War and has continued use in secondary roles. Its rugged construction and modular utility made it a backbone of armoured logistics transport for several decades.. Price:&amp;pound;41.66</description>

<description>Israeli Army M1 Super Sherman Medium Tank
IDF Modified Medium Tank
The M1 Super Sherman was Israel’s early Cold War upgrade of the classic WWII-era Sherman. Based on the M4A1 hull with the later HVSS suspension for improved cross-country performance, this variant featured the American 76mm M1 gun in a revised turret for better firepower. These tanks retained the classic Sherman silhouette but with uniquely Israeli modifications and stowage, creating a hybrid WWII/Cold War look.

<description>US Army M4A1(76w) Sherman HVSS Medium Tank
The M4A1(76)W HVSS was a late-war variant of the U.S. Sherman medium tank, combining several key upgrades to improve firepower, survivability, and mobility.
• M4A1: Cast hull design, giving it a rounded appearance.
• 76mm gun: Replaced the earlier 75mm, offering better anti-tank performance.
• &quot;W&quot;: Denotes wet stowage of ammunition, reducing fire risk from hits.
• HVSS (Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension): A wider-track suspension system that improved ride quality and allowed better weight distribution, increasing cross-country performance.
Entering service in late 1944, this variant saw action in Europe and continued to serve in various forms well into the post-war era with allied and NATO-aligned forces.. Price:&amp;pound;39.99</description>

<description>US Army T58 Experimental Heavy Tank
The T58 was developed alongside the T57 with both tanks sharing many components including the M103 heavy tank chassis. The main difference was the larger calibre 155mm gun, which was intended to provide greater firepower against heavily armoured enemy tanks. Despite its innovative design, the T58 suffered from the same problems as the T57 with the complex and unreliable oscillating turret and autoloader system. 
The U.S. military shifted focus to more versatile main battle tanks (MBTs), such as the M60. T58 was ultimately cancelled in the late 1950s, and no full prototypes were completed. Like the T57, the T58 remains an interesting concept in tank history and has gained attention in military history discussions and video games. Price:&amp;pound;49.99</description>

<description>US Army T57 Experimental Heavy Tank
The T57 was part of a U.S. Army project to develop a more mobile and heavily armed heavy tank. However, problems with the autoloader mechanism, the complexity of the oscillating turret, and advancements in tank design philosophy led to the project&#039;s cancellation in the late 1950s. The U.S. military ultimately favoured main battle tanks (MBTs) over specialized heavy tanks, leading to the standardization of the M60 and later the M1 Abrams.
Although never produced beyond prototype stages, the T57 remains an interesting &quot;what-if&quot; in armoured warfare history, gaining popularity in games like World of Tanks as a fictionalised version of what it might have been in service.
