Tank Documentaries

RTD’s tank documentaries give you a close-up look at the largest tank producer in the world. Take your place on an assembly line in Uralvagonzavod’s prestigious workshop in the Siberian city of Nizhny Tagil and see how Russia’s legendary T-72 battle tanks are churned out. Or, watch them being put through their paces in field tests, as they rumble over snowy embankments while firing shells from their guns. RTD’s tank documentaries also let you see how President Boris Yeltsin used tanks to settle a dispute with Russia’s Parliament by laying siege to the Russian ‘White House’ and hear the stories of the deputies that had barricaded themselves inside.
