The Tsar Tank (also known as Lebedenko Tank) was an unconventional
Russian armored vehicle developed by Nikolai Lebedenko and a team of
engineers in 1914-1915. It differed from modern tanks in that it did not
use caterpillar tracks—rather, it used a tricycle design. The project
was scrapped after tests proved the tank was underpowered and vulnerable
to artillery fire. The single built tank was finally taken apart for
scrap.
