Object 279 Kotin (Объект 279 Котин) was a Soviet experimental heavy tank developed at the end of 1959.

This special purpose tank was intended to fight on cross country terrain, inaccessible to conventional tanks, acting as a heavy breakthrough tank, and if necessary withstanding even the shockwave of a nuclear explosion. It was planned as a tank of the Supreme Command Reserve.

Rudá armáda, celým názvem Dělnicko-rolnická rudá armáda (rusky Рабоче-крестьянская Красная армия, Raboče-kresťjanskaja Krasnaja armija (РККА nebo RKKA), zkráceně jen Красная армия) byla armáda bolševického Ruska (1918–1922) a posléze Sovětského svazu (1922–1946).

The Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army, frequently shortened to Red Army, was the army and the air force of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic and, after 1922, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Beginning in February 1946, the Red Army, along with the Soviet Navy, embodied the main component of the Soviet Armed Forces; taking the official name of “Soviet Army“, until its dissolution in December 1991. The former official name Red Army continued to be used as a nickname by both sides throughout the Cold War.
