Another simple question.
What modification of T-34 is this one?



That sort of T-34s were used during the battle for Moscow in 1941 and some of them in the Kursk battle (relatively low amount)

Regards,
Alex

T34/57 'tank hunter'?,
again I don't think I've ever seen a photo of one but that's a very long barrel.
Glad you've rolled in Alex, my Soviet tank knowledge needs improving.
Cheers,
Adam.

Can you provide some history on this tank? The site Where I found the photos is in Japanese, which is even worse for me than Russian!

Other photos:

It was thought to replace T-26 in troops and have wheeled engine like BTs.
but it appeared tobe too complicated and only 4 vehicles were built.

Yes, again you are right....
It's really "tank-hunter" equipped with the 57mm gun.
Its main disadvantage was too weak efficiency against infantry, what caused removing this tank from battlefield.

Alex

Welll I feel I need to ask more hard questions...

At least two such vehicles were produced.
It took part in the Winter War and later in 1941. One such tank was in the 12th Mechanised Corps in 1941

This unusual tank was hit during the Winter War.
rather large amount of those vehicles were built (~50).
But been very secret they were used too seldom. The most glorious usage was agaisnt Finland, where some vehicles were lost.
Soviet command didn't used (or used in very limited scale) these vehicles against Germans. Fate of residual vehicles is unknown....



Another photo

Two types in moderate numbers or 2 prototypes?

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

Well, that is one of flame-thrower versions of the T-26, which one beats me. OT-13X
