And you thought our first update is all talk, we introduce, the monsters of NWO
Well, here you are; the first ever rendered model.
“The Russians had these principles to pick up the best type of machine wherever they could get it; to have only very few types; to construct the type as simply as possible; and then to produce these types in large quantities”
- General Fridolin Senger und Etterlin, commander of the 17th Panzer Division in the winter of 1942-43.
T-125 behemoth
Dimensions: 13.16m long, 6.44 m wide, 4.4 m high. 16.34m long with gun
Weight: 89,000 kilograms
Armour: Classified
With a name like “behemoth”, the Russian super heavy tank developed by the Omsk machine plant is a terrifying weapons platform; and is the largest ever production heavy tank ever created, and no other equivalent has been fielded by any other faction in the length of the war. This monstrosity of a machine is armed with a powerful 152mm main gun, which fires a 60kg armour-piercing shell to engage enemy armour. Additionally, it is armed with a rapid-firing coaxial 30mm cannon, 8 turret-mounted anti-surface missiles, and a commander controlled 14.5mm heavy machine gun. This makes the T-125 Behemoth a feared weapon on the battlefield given its ability to engage a wide spectrum of targets. The crumbling of soil underneath the Behemoth’s hooked threads is enough to send shivers down the spine of even a veteran of warfare, be they American or Chinese. They know that they would have to employ all their resources to knock it out. In fact, the Behemoth would usually turn out victorious, as its heavy armour is almost impenetrable to most conventional weapons.
However, the fact that the turret makes up around 25% of the weight of the tank, means that the turret revolves slowly. This weakness is usually exploited by brave operators of light tanks, who would usually rush up to the rear of the behemoth and attack it’s slightly weaker back armour.
The Behemoth is now a vital tool is Russia’s propaganda efforts. Pictures of it slamming through walls in mass divisions bringing down everything are enough to evoke a sense of patriotism, while slamming through structures. This unusual method of slamming targets was actually devised by tank commander Nikolai Badanov, who led his team against enemy M1A5s on the Russia-German border. Although numerically inferior, he was said to relay all the energy from the weapon to the propulsion system, drastically increasing the speed of the Behemoth. In fact, the sheer weight of the tank is said, in the story, to be capable of destroying tanks in a hit, and that was reportedly happened. As the M1A5s travelled in a line, Badanov ambushed the team and managed to destroy all of them. In fact, apparently, the behemoth’s armour can stop bullets, rockets and even vehicle hulls. Badanov’s act of heroism has been repeated many times, either to retreat or to crush their way through a stubborn defence line.
The 15-layer titanium armour, heavy weaponry makes the Behemoth incredibly expensive, and slow. Nonetheless, the Behemoth is the strength of the Russian army, for it is usually compared to the German WW2 Tiger 2, one capable of destroying many opponents before being destroyed itself.
