18 January 1974:
By a decree of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR, the 9P148 combat vehicle of the “Konkurs” anti-tank guided missile system, developed on the BRDM-2 chassis, was officially adopted into service.
The vehicle is (and has been) used by both sides in the war in Ukraine and remains in service with a number of countries.

🇸🇰 Slovakia's "T-72M2 Moderna Prototype'
• Developed in the 1990's this modernization of the T-72 would see the addition of improved explosive reactive armor known as DYNAS, new weapons, new sensor and internal systems.
• The later design of the T-72M2 Moderna would drop the pair of 20mm autocannons for a single 30mm autocannon.
• The armament would consist of the 125mm 2A46MS gun and a pair of 20mm Oerlikon autocannons.
• The tank was powered by a 850hp S12U diesel engine and had a top speed of 60km/h.

🇨🇳Modernized PLA ZBD-04 (Type 04) IFV spotted during transport, indicating a significant shift in the PLA's approach to crew protection.
The manned turret with a 100mm cannon and 1x30mm gun was replaced by a lighter unmanned turret, controlled from the hull.

Check out this monster—the VM-T Atlant in action at the 1989 Tushino parade, hauling a mock-up of the Energia hydrogen tank, a striking symbol of late–Cold War Soviet ambition.
During USSR Air Force Day on 20 August, the event featured legendary debuts and displays including the Il-96 prototype, Tu-160, Tu-204, Pugachev’s iconic Su-27 aerobatics, and Aubakirov’s MiG-29, but the VM-T (also known as 3M-T) stood apart as a flying testament to the Buran program.
Modified from the Myasishchev 3M strategic bomber under a 1976 government resolution, the VM-T was purpose-built to transport oversized spacecraft and rocket components for the Energia–Buran program, with only three aircraft ever constructed.
Today, the surviving airframes remain at Dyagilevo airfield and at Zhukovsky with the Myasishchev Design Bureau, often appearing at MAKS, pure Soviet engineering magic that underscores just how bold and ambitious space dreams were in that era.
