Text in original Preserved Tanks In Russia publication:
This is a Tank Mark V from the First World War, a ‘Hermaphrodite’. In 1918-1919 a British force was sent to Russia to help Tsarist White forces fight the Bolsheviks. When the British withdrew, their tanks were left behind and in 1919 many of these were captured by the Reds, becoming the first Soviet tanks. This example would have been one of those vehicles. The Mark V was known as the ‘Ricardo’ to the Soviets, after its engine.

The Model 1936 light tank was a Vickers commercial design sold to China, Dutch East India and the Netherlands. The Model 1937 was a development of the Model 1936 with a specially designed turret mounting a 40mm gun. This example is believed to have come from Latvia.

Examples of the Churchill Crocodile and Cromwell were shipped to Russia during the war, presumably to demonstrate British design engineering; this would explain their presence here.

Text in original Preserved Tanks In Russia publication:
The Centurion Mark 5 was a development of the Mark 3 with a fume extractor and other changes. Increases in fuel capacity produced the Mark 6 and Mark 7. The Mark 8 had a new cupola and fire control system, and when rearmed with the Vickers L7A1 105mm gun was designated Mark 8/2, of which this is an example.

Text in original Preserved Tanks In Russia publication:
The Centurion Mark 9 was an up-armoured Mark 7 with the 105mm gun which, with improvements, became the Mark 12. This appears to be a Mark 12; however recent examination indicates that it is an Israeli modified version mounting a new engine, and was therefore probably captured in the Arab-Israeli wars (source: R. Fleming).

In 1971 Iran placed an order for some 700 Chieftains, Marks 3/3P and 5/5P. Between 200 and 300 were captured by Iraq during fighting in the Middle East, many of which were undamaged, and this one, a Mark 5/5P, is likely to have come from that source. It has sections of armour cut out of its turret and hull and replaced with tin plate (source: R. Stickland).

This M3 saw extensive service with the British and US Armies before being superseded by the M4 Sherman. Some M3s were supplied to the Soviet Army under Lend-Lease arrangements and that was probably the source of this example.

This is an example of an Israeli modified Sherman. Although Israel used large numbers of Shermans without significant modifications during the early Arab-Israeli wars, by the end of the 1950’s it was clear that they were being outclassed by enemy tanks. Israel therefore rebuilt many of them with new engines and guns. The M51 Sherman was based on the M4A1 (76mm) HVSS but mounted a shortened version of a French 105mm gun and was powered by a Cummings diesel engine. During the 1973 Yom Kippur War, M51s successfully engaged much more modern Soviet T-62 tanks used by Egypt and Syria. This example was captured during one of these conflicts.

This example mounts a Girod cast turret - this model was sometimes known as the FT-18. The mantlet has been replaced with a fixed metal plate and the armament appears to be fake; this is probably due to battle damage.

At the outbreak of the war Hungary looked to Czechoslovakia for medium tanks to equip its army but Skoda and CKD were already committed to producing tanks for the German army. Instead, Skoda provided the plans and manufacturing rights to its S-IIr design and this was produced in Hungary, with modifications, as the 40M Turan I tank. A later up-gunning of this vehicle from a 40mm to a 75mm gun produced the 41M Turan II tank.

The Turan chassis was also used as the basis for a self-propelled gun mounting a 10.5cm howitzer; this was the 40/43M Zrinyi assault gun.
