Cold War Soviet Army: The Podcast

If you enjoyed our video about Cold War Soviet military doctrine (   • Cold War Soviet Army: A Guided Tour  ) then you may also like this podcast, made of the parts of our conversation that didn't make it into the video. Also, we went back into the studio to answer some of the more frequently questions we got in the comment section!

So in this follow-up podcast we go a bit more in-depth on topics such as defense (both as and against the Soviets), we're comparing Soviet tanks, and we think about what's the better idea: bringing more of the cheaper T62's, or fewer of the more expensive T64's?
