Boy Discovers Long-Abandoned Metal Object in a Lake—War Secrets Uncovered
A One-of-a-kind Diesel Engine
The T-34 tank was a crucial component of the Soviet Red Army’s war strategy, owing to its sloped armor, robust engine, and wide tracks that provided an ideal balance between speed and endurance. The tank was fitted with a V-2-34 38.8 L V12 Diesel engine that delivered an impressive 500 horsepower (370 kW), as was discovered during a recent restoration initiative.
Despite losing tens of thousands of T-34s in clashes with the German Wehrmacht, the Soviets continued to produce over 80,000 of these tanks, augmenting their deployment numbers progressively. However, the mystery behind how one such tank ended up in an Estonian marshland remains unsolved.
