"Komsomolets armored tractor" Topic

Who used them?…

They were used by…Soviet Union, Finland, Nazi Germany
Kingdom of Romania and Kingdom of Hungary

"The T-20 was designed in 1936 at the Ordzhonikidze Moscow Plant no.37. They were manufactured during 1937-1941 at Factory no. 37, as well as at STZ and GAZ.

The tractor was designed to tow light artillery pieces such as the 45mm anti-tank gun and the 120mm heavy mortar. The tractor could tow the weapons themselves plus a small quantity of ammunition, usually towed in a limber, along with up to six crewmen. Occasionally, two limbers were towed to increase the ammunition supply.

The forward compartment provided space for the driver and vehicle commander. It was fully armored and had a ball-mounted DT machinegun. The rear compartment held the gun crews, seated back-to-back in outward-facing bench seats. A canvas top could be erected for protection in poor weather.

Approximately 4401 T-20 tractors were built between 1937 and 1941…."

Yes, but Armand, that model might not be bad, but it is not a T-20 Komsomolets tractor.

Rather, it is a ZiS-30 tank destroyer.

It is true that the ZiS-30 was built on the chassis of the T-20 Komsomolets tractor, but it was no more a tractor than an M12 "King Kong" was a M3 Lee tank.

It's a cute little beastie!

Looks like a ride on lawn mower to me.

Indeed, but Warlord do the Komsomolets.

Always puzzled me why you would build an armoured artillery tractor and then have seats on the outside for the gun crew.

Guns are expensive, crews less so?

It's not going to work without a crew!
