Le T-26 est un char léger d’accompagnement de l’infanterie produit par l’URSS de 1931 à 1941, à près de douze mille exemplaires. Inspiré du Vickers 6-Ton, dont la licence de production avait été achetée aux Britanniques, c’est un des chars les plus réussis des années 1930. Il constitue l’ossature des forces blindées de l’armée rouge en 1941, mais suite aux pertes effroyables qu’il subit lors de l’offensive allemande, il perd rapidement ce rôle face aux blindés plus modernes, et dès la mi-1942, il est relégué à des rôles secondaires.
