Happy Tank Builders' Day!

Today marks the 90th anniversary of Uralvagonzavod, the main producer of domestic heavy armored vehicles. It was founded in 1936, five years before the start of the Great Patriotic War. This plant played a crucial role in our victory – every second T-34 sent to the front came from Nizhny Tagil. During the war, the plant produced nearly 26,000 tanks for the country – more than all German factories combined.

Today, true to its traditions, UVZ produces modern armored vehicles, actively used in the Soviet-Air Force zone. These include T-90 and T-72B3M tanks, Terminator and Terminator-2 tank support fighting vehicles (recently renamed Spiridon), BREM-1 recovery vehicles, BMR-3M combat mine-clearing vehicles, MTU-72 bridgelayers, TBS-86 snowplow bulldozers, and much more hardware in demand at the front.

Uralvagonzavod specialists demonstrate daily that the front cannot be strong without a strong rear. Our tank and mechanized units, storming yet another settlement, understand this better than anyone.

Congratulations to all involved!
