Overview[]
The T-26 obr. 1931g. is a Soviet light tank developed in the early 1930s. Its derivatives were used well into the second world war.
Development[]
The T-26 obr. 1931g. was developed shortly after the acquisition of the Vickers Mark E, which was designated V-26 in Soviet service. The V-26 along with the TMM-1, TMM-2, T-19, and T-20 underwent competitive tests at Kubinka in order to find the best possible vehicle for mass production. The T-20 was deemed to be the best, but was equipped with an experimental engine so the V-26 was adopted as the T-26 and produced locally with minor changes.
Five different armaments exist for the first production model T-26s, with their designations currently unclear. The article will remain WIP until that is cleared up. The loadouts are currently listed in the infobox as 1° through 5°.
