Best Soviet Weapons?

[ABWorsham4]

In your opinion what are the best weapons designs of the Soviet Union (1917-1991).
Choose your top three (3) weapons.

[Lucifer]

1. T-34
2. RPG-29
3. PAK FA

Ofc, the AK-47 should be on the list, it’s mandatory, but lets just forget about the ak-47 b/c it’s a given, like discussing books and not mentioning the Bible…get my point (?), and it’s hard to argue with a cheap weapon (rpg-29) that can damage modern tanks.

[Lucifer]

Well the PAK FA is more modern than 1991, so then I would rank the Dragunov sniper rifle at 3. It was better than any western sniper rifles until the 80’s.

1. T-34
2. RPG-29
3.Dragunov SVD

1. Winter.  Destroyed both Napoleon and Hitlers armies; a few more weeks of fall weather and the outcomes might have been different.

2. The Tsar Bomba;  most powerful nuclear weapon designed and tested.  Truely an engineering marvel dwarfing (even in the scaled down version tested) anything the Americans (or British or French) did.

3. The T34 tank; revolutionized tank design.

4. Since winter isn’t really a designed product, I’ll have to include Sputnik due to the political capital this gave the Soviets.

I think you are ok w. Winter since IL used

:-P :-P

T-34: Most effective mass produced tank during (and long after) the war

Winter: Added “Germany” to the long list of invading countries overwhelmed while (attempting) to invade Russia

Virtually unlimited supply of conscripts: more than you can say for Germany

[Himilayas]

None, they can’t even make a car right.

:-D :lol:

T-34, winter and ppsh-41

As one of the NA’s in revised edition said

Russia’s greatest ally was its winter

[SpinalRemains]

AK-47 for all around best weapon to me.

For WWII - The cold Winter, the T34 in numbers and the Katuscha rockets I think had the biggest impact against the Germans.

lol oh and I just remembered…… The Tsar Bomba!

HAHAHA I wish I had a few Tsar bombas.  Maybe Target has some in aisle 5?  lol  :evil:

[Fishmoto37]

IL2 Sturmovik and the T-34 all versions for WWII. The MIG15 for Korea. These three had a tremendous impact when they first appeared on the battlefield. Got to get the AK47 in there somewhere.
