| Description |
Soviet WW2 era Light Tank Designer:- Nicholas Astrov Built:- 1942 to 1943 Total Production:- 8,226 Main Armament:- 45mm L/46 gun Model 1938. The T-70 was introduced in 1942 and replaced both the T-60 scout tank and T-50 light infantry tank. They remained in service until 1948. The following incident demonstrates how the T-70 could be used against much greater opponents:- “On March 26, 1944 Sergeant Alexander Pegov of the 3rd Guards tank army, commanding a single T-70, saw a column of approximately 18 German tanks approaching. He took an ambush position hidden by foliage and then he waited. After a German PzKpfw V “Panther” tank came within 150 to 200 meters, the T-70 suddenly opened fire with APCR ammunition and set fire to one Panther and immobilized another. The knocked out Panthers blocked the road while the T-70 retreated. Pegov was promoted to a lieutenant and decorated as a Hero of the Soviet Union”. On display in ‘Victory Park’, Museum of the Great Patriotic War, Poklonnaya Hill, Moscow, Russia. 26th August 2017 |
