Modern Russian Tanks: 1990-Present (Technical Guides)

This is a very good book on contemporary Russian army armored vehicles. Not surprisingly, most of them originated back in the days of the former Soviet Union.The book starts with the old T-10 heavy tank and moves up to the most recent T-90 and T-14 "Armata" tanks. It then covers armored personnel carriers and armored cars, armored infantry fighting vehicles, tank destroyers, and finally self-propelled artillery. It describes the original designs as wells the upgrades that have occurred over the years.The text describes the design development history and usually the design and manufacturing organization. Tabulations are provided for weights and dimensions, number produced, armament, engine horsepower, speed, crew size, and armor type and thickness. Sometimes, data is given on the weapon performance. The text is accompanied by photos and color renderings.

A very complete selection of russian AFVs. And dealing with the mothballed tanks you get a 1960 to present guide instead of 1990 to present. Together with chinese and modern tanks, Amber started a very useful collection, probably the first after Janes recognition guides from the 2000s . Nice illustrations, most of them from the web based ''Encyclopedia of tanks".

This is a very recent encyclopedia of post-Soviet armored fighting vehicles, including some of the later Soviet types. A very well written, well-researched and informative addition to your military library.

This is a handy reference on post-WWII Soviet/Russian vehicles, with detailed specifications and good photos. I would give it 5 stars except for the fact that the print font size is so small that I need a magnifying glass for some sections. I wish they had made the print size more standard, but overall it's an enjoyable and useful text.

This is the best series of books that helped me understand the machine better also since I’m a model maker . It’s a quick reference when you are finishing with detail and or painting your masterpiece.

Intended to use for 3d modeling but many numbers are not correct. For example gives lenght 2S19 MSTA as 7.15 meters... INCLUDING barrel. That number is really EXCLUDING barrell.

I've always been interested in military equipment. I build models and these books become very handy.

Great current information.

I was looking for an informative review of the extraordinary range of current Russian armoured vehicles and this met my need perfectly. Yes, the paintings are not very exciting and the photos are somewhat small, but there again this is a small format book

Poor quality illustrations, I've sent mine back. Not worth buying, there's lots of far better books on the market.

This book tells you what you need to know about Russian tanks.

Das Buch hat einen guten Informationsinhalt und bietet eine gute Übersicht über die einzelnen Produktionslinien der russ./ sowjet. Kampftechnik.Es gibt aber allzumal andere Bücher mit noch mehr Detailinformationen aber die kosten auch mehr.Als gute Übersicht ist es zu empfehlen.Was schlecht ist das ist der Versand von Büchern über Amazon.Schutzumschlag defekt und eine Ecke eingedrückt. Das schmälert den Gesamteindruck und mindert den Wert des Produkts.Übrigens ist das bei weitem nicht das erste ramponierte Buch was Amazon geliefert hat.

Der Autor hat über alle Panzer von Russland nach 1990 geschrieben. Auch der T-14 Armata ist dabei. Leider wird der neue Standardpanzer, der T-90 M, nur ganz kurz am Rande erwähnt und der T-55 M6 wird gar nicht erwähnt. Dies sind die einzigen Mängel die mir aufgefallen sind. Ansonsten ein gutes Buch was man weiter empfehlen kann. Allerdings in englisch geschrieben.
