"Tank fighter P-F-1 " Topic

"A well-developed version of the fighter tank was developed by Deputy Chief Engineer of Tomsk Bearing Plant S.V. Pinegin and his colleague – the chief engineer of the branch of the Kuybyshev Bearing Plant NM. Fedoseyev. In the middle of June 1942 They invented not only the car and the original tracks for it, but also worked out the concept of its combat use. In their opinion, the project under the designation P-F-1 was intended to destroy tanks, replace the motorcycle in reconnaissance, and also as a mass tactical machine of the battlefield.

The P-F-1 was a crawler-type machine on pneumatic wheels, suitable for all seasons except winter (in winter it was intended to use an analogue, P-F-2 aerosleigh). Calculated P-F-1 per soldier. With a cab size of 1.8 × 1 × 1 meter, the tank had Clearance 0.2 meters. The weight of the construction without a fighter was estimated at only 280 kg, the speed on tracks and wheels was 60 and 100 km / h, respectively.

The tank was armed with two 90-mm mortar shells with four mines (air torpedoes) weighing 20 kg. The auxiliary weapon was a submachine gun on a turret with a 360 ° firing angle and a 120 ° elevation angle. In the fight against tanks, P-F-1 had to act similarly to torpedo boats at sea, realizing the concept of "mosquito" detachments of light and cheap land torpedo bombers…"
