The sloping, angular layout of the T-34 increased the effective armour thickness and also saw a larger proportion of shells deflected away than penetrated its armour. The introduction of the T-34 into action saw German tank design follow suit with similarly angled armour on the likes of the Panther and King Tiger. As German tank design came to the fore, the Soviet war machine once again raised the bar with the T-34\/85.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T-34\/85, the very symbol of Soviet military strength in the Second World War, had a new turret to house the more powerful 85mm ZiS gun. A supremely rugged and reliable tank, the T-34\/85 had excellent off-road capability, especially in the marshland or snow of the Eastern Front, and was easy for the crew to operate and maintain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T-34\/85's great strength lay in its adaptation of the T-34\/76 tank design which preceded it. This ensured a far smoother and faster production line than would have been the case with a completely new design. Another major advantage of the relatively simple design is the sheer number of tanks the Soviet tank factories could produce - by the summer of 1944 the Soviet war machine could produce more T-34\/85s in a month than the Germans had Panther tanks in the whole of the Eastern Front!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith over 21,000 of the 57,000 T-34s built during WWII being T-34\/85s, the Russian credo was clearly one of quantity over quality, although it was an unwise Panzer commander who discounted the ability of the T-34\/85.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T-34\/85 would be used by many nations post-war. 120 were used during the invasion of South Korea in 1950.

Sniper teams, mortar teams and flamethrower teams are among the most prevalent, presenting your opponent with multiple challenges to overcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sniper became synonymous with the Red Army, particularly during the grim sieges of Stalingrad and Leningrad. ‘Sniper schools’ were established in bombed-out buildings and cellars, where successful snipers passed down their skills to ever-growing numbers of students – many of them women. Soviet propaganda lavished attention on successful snipers and encouraged a doctrine of ‘sniperism’ among the troops. Snipers used telescopic sights on either a bolt action Moisin-Nagant 1891\/30, or, more rarely, a Tokarev SVT-40 smi-automatic rifle. A variety of ammunition was used, including tracer and armour-piercing rounds. Soviet snipers were available at company level working as teams or sometimes on their own. Individual Red Army squads would often have a designated marksman with a scoped rifle to help compensate for the lack of long-range firepower due to the large numbers of submachine guns in use. Soviet snipers became renowned for their fieldcraft, stealth and patience. The most successful snipers each accounted for hundreds of the enemy – around 500 being the greatest tally recorded by a single sniper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard light mortar used by Russian infantry during World War II was the 50mm Infantry Mortar Model 1940 (50-PM 40), a cheaper version of the earlier model 1938, In addition, the Soviet army received considerable numbers of 2-inch mortars from Britain via Lend-Lease. The 50mm was deemed a ‘company’ mortar as opposed to the heavier 82mm battalion and 120mm regimental mortars. The allocation of 50mm mortars was initially to individual teams at platoon level, but later they were more often concentrated together at company level for use en masse. The weapon was easily man-portable and could lay down a high explosive or smoke bombs at a range of over 800 yards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Soviets made great use of flamethrowers including FOG-1 static types dug in to cover bunkers and trenches. Due to shortcomings in developing other credible anti-tank weapons, Red Army doctrine placed strong emphasis on using flamethrowers as anti-tank as well as anti-infantry weapons. They even formed separate motorised anti-tank flamethrower battalions in 1943. By far the most common Russian flamethrowers were the man-packed ROKS types. The ROKS-2 was designed with a fuel tank that looked like an ordinary backpack and a nozzle resembling a rifle, so as not to attract unwelcome attention on the battlefield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains the following Warlord Resin Plus™ figures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-man Sniper team\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-man Light Mortar team\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-man Flamethrower team\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: Models supplied unassembled and unpainted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46688098910546,"sku":"402214010","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/4444\/6927\/files\/402214010_SovietArmyWeaponsTeams03.webp?v=1686661143"},{"product_id":"bolt-action-soviet-army-1940-43-starter-army","title":"Bolt Action: Soviet Army (1940-43) Starter Army","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tabs__product-page horizontal-tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wrapper-tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"collapse-tab1\" data-tabcontent=\"\" class=\"tab-content active\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tabs__product-page horizontal-tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wrapper-tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content active\" data-tabcontent=\"\" id=\"collapse-tab1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperation Barbarossa saw the brave patriots of the Soviet Union fighting to hold back the German invasion launched against their Motherland.
