When German troops began their offensive against Russia in early 1918, the Bolsheviks, who had come to power as a result of the October Revolution, declared mobilization. The new armed forces were named the “Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army”, and February 23rd, the day when recruitment for the Red Army began, became a public holiday within a few years. It is a day still celebrated today.

About this tank
The Object 140 (rank VI) is an experimental tank developed as an evolution of the T-54. Its 100 mm stabilized gun can fire rounds that can penetrate most enemies at its rank from the front. Its APHE rounds are very powerful, and its good mobility allows it to work effectively almost anywhere, just keep the low gun depression in mind.
