Album of 33 photos of a tank T-26

The T-26 is a light infantry support tank produced by the USSR from 1931 to 1941, with nearly twelve thousand copies. Inspired by the Vickers 6-Ton, whose production license had been purchased from the British, it was one of the most successful tanks of the 1930s. It formed the backbone of the Red Army armoured forces in 1941, but following the appalling losses it suffered during the German offensive, it quickly lost this role to the more modern armoured vehicles, and by mid-1942 it was relegated to secondary roles.
