Kazan Higher Tank Command School (Russian: Казанское высшее танковое командное училище) is Russian higher military school conducting commissioned officer programmes (specialitet). It is located in Kazan.

History

[edit]

The Kazan Tank School was founded in 1941 on the base of the former Kazan Infantry School. It was renamed the Kazan Higher Tank Command School in 1965.[1]

In November 2022, several videos and photos of new T-14 Armata main battle tanks appeared on social media, apparently training at the same grounds as Russian military personnel who were mobilized. The videos were located to a training ground in Kazan, where the cadets of the Kazan Higher Tank Command School train.[2][3]
