Project evaluation

   I must say that the fate of the tank Lebedenko generally similar to the fate of any test samples, designed at a time when there existed not only the established rules of design of combat vehicles, but also as one of their concepts. This is partly due to the fact that the project received approval in the high courts, and even implemented in the severe environment of pre Russia, after the fact seemed obvious failure.

   Already during the first trial, there was the incredible vulnerability of this machine - a simple volley shrapnel in the spokes of a wheel is guaranteed out of the tank. And if successful hit in the wheel hub, the machine generally consisted of a house of cards. This huge tank size and low speed makes it an ideal target. Dimensions same predetermined low-terrain vehicles. Accordingly, the implicit transfer of colossus to the front, too, seems unlikely. Thus, the only success, which could count Lebedenko fighting vehicles, whether they are in series - the psychological effect. Undoubtedly, the vast majority of ordinary soldiers, such a machine could perhaps dreamed in nightmare dreams. However, mass production of such vehicles also seems unlikely - all depend on the absence of powerful engines, and the country uncontrollably fall into crisis, is unlikely to handle to the production of such machines.

   Fetch "defeat" the project by the fact that in general the design and construction of the King-tank does not have any significant impact on the domestic (and the more and world) tank. The Tsar Tank was never another impasse in the development of global vehicle tank, which in 1910's was almost entirely by trial and error.
