    Pretty sure NI was created as a desperate attempt to have something, anything in a city that was under siege by Nazis at the time

      The NI tank was created during the Siege of Odessa after all of the actual tank manufacturing had been removed from the city. So the engineers created monstrous Frankenstein tanks with whatever was left after the evacuation.

      It was, but I’m just going on about the many improvised vehicles in 20th and 21st century warfare. That and because the NI was a curiousity.
