Although the first few look like something from the Liberal red book, the ones at the end are the most interesting, at least to me. The huge pool of mud shows how that vast ammount of teritory is a curse if you can't move through it. Their experiments with hovercraft show why they lead the world in this but I have severe doubts of something that weighs 60 tons is going to go far.
My faves have to be the JATO T55 or other jet propelled versions.

It is worthwhile noting that the Russians were light-years ahead with their T34 and based on their extensive experience of WW2 with armoured warfare, that they abandoned developement of heavy tanks and concentrated on mediums.

They supplied many ISIII's to the ME especially Egypt. The ISIII was the boggyman of NATO but in 1967, merely provided the Isreali's with a bunch of war trophies.....The Israeli's frequently refurbish captured armour for their own use but not the ISIIIs. They were just museum display models.

I found it interesting that the target of the T-54/55 thing with the ATGM was an intact Panzer. It's at about 2:43 or so.
