Simple said, post once a day a photo off a cold war era vehicle you would like to share!
However! It must be the COLD war era! Thus anything BEFORE 1990!
A picture may contain propaganda photo's or also multiple vehicles, but you must point out wich vehicle nominate as your vehicle of the day
Mine is nothing else but the T64 MBT of Soviet russia. A T64-A to be exact. First developed as a far more advanced counterpart to the T62, the tank had massive innovations wich drasticly changed MBT designs. The T64 was later supplanted by the cheaper T72, but the T64 remained in production alongside it, as a More advanced tank for more tactical battles
The tank remained superior to most Westren MBT's untill the arrival of the M1 Abrams and Challenger 1 MBT's.
The T64 had much more advantages then most soviet MBT's, especialy the T72=

The automatic loader, hydraulic and not electric, is much faster (loading cycle of 6 to 13 seconds) and more reliable, and less sensitive to jolting when running off-road. It also has a "sequence" fire mode which feeds the gun with shells of the same type in less than 5 seconds. It is also able, in the modern versions, to turn backwards to keep a good speed at the end of the load.
Driving seems much less exhausting for the crew, thanks to assisted controls and a more flexible suspension. (Perrett 1987:43)
The ammunition is transported at the lower point of the turret shaft, minimizing the risks of destruction by self-detonation.
Protection, excellent from the beginning and constantly updated, remains able to stop modern shells thanks to the reactive armor.
The fire control on the B version is very modern.
The tank leader's small turret has good sights, the AA machine gun can be operated from inside the turret; he can also control the gun sight in case of emergency.
The only shared disadvantage was the low gun depresssion
I like TDs, so here's Kanonenjagdpanzer 4-5, in service in West Germany between 1965 - 1990. Pretty obvious which WW2 TD (sadly underpowered in WoT) influenced it's design.
Submarine which could erase a country from a map with it's 200 nuclear warheads: primary weapons system is composed of 20 R-39 (NATO: SS-N-20) ballistic missiles (SLBM) with a maximum of 10 MIRV nuclear warheads each.
2K11 Krug or SA-4 ganef was a medium to long range Surface to air missile.The missiles are launched with the aid of four solid fuel rocket motors inside boosters attached to the outside of the massive missile. Once they have burned and the missile is aloft, it fires a liquid-fuelled ramjet sustainer engine. It reaches speeds of up to Mach 4 and has an effective range of 50–55 km (31–34 miles) depending upon the version. It carries a 135 kg (300 lb) warhead. Possible engagement altitudes range from 100 m-27 km
NATO was very worried by these SAM's, because despite there huge size, they where still very accurate and contained a huge High explosive charge
