Dragon 1/35 Soviet WWII Tank Rider Infantry # 6197


Soviet WWII tank rider infantry were specialized troops trained and equipped to ride on the exterior of tanks during World War II, primarily on the Eastern Front.
As the war progressed and the Soviet Union faced intense battles against Axis forces, including the German Wehrmacht, the need for flexible and mobile infantry units became paramount.
Tank rider infantry were tasked with accompanying armored units into combat, providing additional firepower, reconnaissance, and protection.
Equipped with rifles, submachine guns, grenades, and other small arms, these infantry soldiers rode on the exterior of tanks or clung to their sides, ready to dismount and engage enemy forces at a moment's notice.
They also served as the eyes and ears of the tank crews, spotting enemy positions and directing fire when necessary.
Riding on tanks offered several advantages for the infantry, including increased mobility, protection from small arms fire, and the ability to rapidly deploy onto the battlefield.
However, it also exposed them to enemy fire and the hazards of combat, making their role perilous yet essential.
Soviet tank rider infantry played a significant role in the Eastern Front battles, contributing to the success of Soviet armored offensives and the eventual defeat of the Axis powers.
Their bravery, adaptability, and willingness to endure the rigors of combat on the front lines were crucial to the Soviet war effort during World War II.
