Museum of military equipment "Military glory of the Urals." Artillery and armored vehicles
Imagine that you are a visitor to the museum of paleontology and with your head upright, walk enthusiastically between giant diplodocus and other pterosaurs. And then they tell you - I'm sorry, they say, but it's time to feed the animals. The plate "Dinner" hangs up and the exhibits with the uterine rumbling run into the backyard to grumble my carrot. I experienced something similar when I asked the museum superintendent of the “Military Glory of the Urals” about the reason for the presence of a large number of empty pedestals and the absence of the exhibits themselves.
How is it where - they looked at me with undisguised surprise - they went to the parade!
And here is a video from the museum.
It is good that not everyone left, and we have a great opportunity to get acquainted with what constitutes the "military glory of the Urals". Many of the presented exhibits were made, in the literal sense of the word, behind the adjacent fence.
Let's start with artillery rows.
The 2А36 "Hyacinth-B" is a Soviet 152-mm towed gun with an increased range of fire, developed in the hard currency of the Perm machine-building plant in November 1968, under the direction of Yu.N. Kalanchikov. In 1976, 2А36 was adopted by the Soviet Union and was intended for the suppression and destruction of manpower, fire weapons and military equipment of the enemy on the march, in places of concentration and in strongholds. The length of the barrel along with the muzzle brake is 8197 mm.

The muzzle brake is just epic.
The 2А45М "Sprut-B" was created at the end of the 1980-s in the Petrov design bureau. This 125 millimeter semi-automatic weapon is interesting because with the help of an auxiliary power unit it can move independently over short distances to get away from return fire.
The 100-mm anti-tank gun MT-12 (GRAU index - 2А29, in a number of sources has the name "Rapier") is a Soviet towed anti-tank gun created at the end of the 1960-s. In the background, its early version of the 100-mm T-12 gun.

Heavy assault tank KV-2.
The armored hull of the tank was welded from rolled armored plates of thickness 75, 40, 30 and 20 mm. Equal strength armor protection (armor plates with a thickness other than 75 mm, were used only for horizontal armoring of the machine), countering. The armor plates of the frontal part of the machine were installed at rational inclination angles.
KV-1 (Klim Voroshilov) - Soviet heavy tank during the Second World War. Usually it is simply called “KV”: a tank was created under this name and only later, after the appearance of the KV-2 tank.
T-34 is not required. The evolution of weapons and the turret in the process of modernization is clearly visible.
Heavy Soviet tank IS-2. The tank was adopted by the Red Army at the end of the 1943 of the year and was mass-produced from 1943 to 1946. It is a modification of the tank EC-1 with weapons, reinforced by the installation of a very powerful 122-mm gun D-25 with a muzzle brake.
