Following the production of their first tanks, the British " Flying Elephant" was designed as a tank that would be resistant to artillery fire. The tank was envisioned to be invulnerable to almost all contemporary threats but remained on paper due to its high construction cost. The first super-heavy tank was designed by the Russian naval engineer Vasily Mendeleyev who worked on the project from 1911 to 1915. History First World War Model of the Flying Elephant design, projected to weigh 100 tons Examples were designed in the First and Second World Wars, along with a few during the Cold War. Programs have been initiated on several occasions with the aim of creating an extremely resilient vehicle for penetrating enemy formations without fear of being destroyed in combat however, only a few examples were built, and there is little evidence of any super heavy tank having seen combat. A super-heavy tank or super heavy tank is any tank that is notably beyond the standard of the class heavy tank in either size or weight relative to contemporary vehicles.
