I love heavies like this Super T-10M. Equipped with 20mm cuppola turret and a pair of heavy machine guns to deal with prowling enemy infantry.

What if the saga of soviet heavy tanks continued during '60s and '70s?

Here you can see first two members of LB(1) series along with T-10M (RW).

LB-1 armed with a 125mm gun, is here parading in Red Square, Moscow.
LB-2 is armed with a 130mm gun.
