The T-26 tank was developed from the British Vickers-Armstrong 6 Ton Tank. The tank is also the basis of a large series of specialist variants, making the tank the most numerous tank of the 1930-40's
Though more reliable than other tanks at the start of the Great Patriotic war with Germany in 1941 it was under-gunned and poorly armoured and would be soon almost entirely wiped out by 1942.
its variants range from armoured tractors to flame-thrower tanks to bridge layers.
