I found a few strange tanks while surfing the net.
This is the Antonov A-40, a 12,800-pound T-60 scout tank fixed to a huge glider. The idea was to tow it behind a plane and let it glide onto the battlefield. The 1941-42 prototype program never saw combat.
Russian screw-drive ZIL-2906
Racing driver J. Walter Christie liked to go fast, and his lightweight tank designs were made to go fast, too. Christie is famous for developing a new kind of suspension for tanks in 1931, which Popular Science reported gave his prototypes the ability to go 104 miles an hour. (167 kph)
The British Army wanted a low-silhouette armored vehicle that could still shoot over obstacles. This one-man 1944 prototype, called the ‘praying mantis' was pretty much a dead end.
To make one of Stalinist Russia's Progvev-T Gasdynamic trawlers, all you had to do was take one of their trusty T-34 tanks and put a MiG-15 jet engine on top. The blast from the jet would uncover and detonate mines
