Pursue an exceptional Soviet tank (plus more rewards!) with this Earn Challenge!
February 23rd is Defender of the Fatherland Day, a day that officially celebrates the service of members of the Russian Armed Forces.
This year, it also marks the start of an opportunity for you to prove your muscle and might: the Defender of the Fatherland Earn Challenge!
This challenge includes five stages for you to complete. Gain XP and dominate each stage to earn Silver, Premium Account Time, and more. Complete the final stage, and you’ll receive the patriarch of all prizes: the Fatherland IS-3A heavy tank!

With its robust front turret armor and devastating 122mm gun, the Soviet Tier VIII Fatherland IS-3A Heavy Tank is just the tank you need to mount a proud defense of your platoon. Now, for one week only, you can make it yours!
Please note: upon completion of the challenge, if you already own the Fatherland IS-3A, you will receive the tank’s value in Silver (6,171,200 Silver) instead.
Will you back away from this challenge? Or will you stand tall and fight with honor? Seize the day, Commander—it’s yours to claim, along with this tank!
