This Russian reality show is like ‘Monster Garage’ with tanks

Russian propaganda outlet RT has created a docu-reality series called "Tanks: Born in Russia" that follows prospective tank constructors as they compete for a job manufacturing and repairing armored vehicles and tanks.

Two men have to complete a variety of tasks in the main factory of world's largest main battle tank manufacturer, Uralvagonzavod. Uralvagonzavod has created many of Russia's main tanks since World War II and is the primary developer and manufacturer for the new T-14 Armata tank.

The show follows the men through the factory floor and the test ranges, allowing viewers an inside look at the factory. It also shows some of the personal drama in the men's lives as they juggle work with girlfriends and families.

The English version of it features English narration and subtitles. The first episode is available below and the full series can be downloaded from RT's website.
