The Landkreuzer P-1000 Ratte (German: rat) was a project of a German super-heavy tank from the Second World War. The car project was never developed as a prototype, let alone entered into mass production. The P-1000 Ratte was going to be driven either 2 MAN V12Z32 / 44 engines with a total power of 8,500 HP or 8 Daimler-Benz MB501 engines with a total power of 16,000 HP. The planned armament of the vehicle is 2 280mm guns, 1 128mm KwK 44 L / 55 cannon, 8 20mm FlaK38 cannons and 2 15mm MG151 / 15 machine guns. The first project of the P-1000 Ratte was created in 1942. It envisaged the creation of not so much a tank, but rather a land cruiser with a huge mass and main armament, the caliber of which was equal to the caliber of the guns of the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau battleships! Interestingly, work on this unusual vehicle probably began shortly after, but was discontinued in 1943. The size and weight of the P-1000 Ratte made it very vulnerable to air attacks and the fire of all types of artillery. The almost zero maneuverability of this vehicle in the field or the inability to overcome major water obstacles on the available bridges was also problematic. All these issues made the P-1000 Ratte project debatable from its inception and questioned its combat value.
