| Notes | The T-26 had many similarities to the Vickers 6 ton tank, mainly to do with the chassis. It initially had twin turrets and mounted machine guns, but by 1933 a version mounting a single turret was produced. The T-26 M1933 was armed with a 45mm main gun, which was considered to be one of the best tank guns designed at that time. Some command versions carried radios which were fitted with distinct hand rail antenna which ran around the rim of the turret. It saw extensive use in the 1930s and in the early years of world war two, mainly as a light infantry tank. |
