"Everything for the front! Everything for Victory!"

The Red Army forged its legend with steel monsters designed in the urgency of war. They weren't just made of iron. They changed the course of history, the symbols of sacrifice and glory.

Discover the BP-43 armored train, a fortress on rails, so strong that, out of the 21 trains constructed, only one was ever destroyed in combat.

With its 37 mm M1939 anti-aircraft cannons, 76 mm tank guns, and 7.62 mm machine guns, the train would combat enemy tanks and aircraft alike, giving frontline units much-needed fire support where rail infrastructure was available and intact.
