Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
A comprehensive illustrated examination of the development and combat performance of Russian/Soviet battle tanks from World War I to the end of World War II.
In this, the first of two highly illustrated volumes examining the history of Russian and Soviet battle tanks, Steven J. Zaloga focuses on the history of Russian tank development from the time of Imperial Russia through to the Soviet period. Early Russian tank development began with other armored vehicles, such as armored trains and armored cars. However, by the time of World War II, the Soviet Union was in the vanguard of worldwide tank development. It produced 30,000 tanks in the 1920-39 period. During the war, however, a large portion of its tanks were lost and its tank industry faced a rebirth following 1941.
Expanding on material published in Osprey series, including New Vanguard, Duel and Campaign, and packed with period images and detailed artwork, Russian and Soviet Tanks 1915-1945 explores the concepts and production of tanks such as the T-34 and KV. It describes the experiences of the crews who saw combat, the performance of each tank in battle, and how the Russian and Soviet armored fighting vehicles compared with the enemy armor it faced, as well as the key lessons learned from combat that lead to new concepts and technological breakthroughs.
