WW2 Russian Tank T-18 - WW2 Rusia Tanque T-18 - WW2 russischen Panzer T-18

The T-18 light tank (also called MS-1, Russian: малый сопровождения, первый, tr. Maliy Soprovozhdeniya, Perviy, "First Small [Vehicle for] Support") was the first Soviet-designed tank. Produced from 1928 to 1931, it was based on the Renault FT, with the addition of a vertically sprung suspension. The T-18 and its derivatives were essentially unsuccessful designs, but they gave Soviet industry its first experiences in designing armoured vehicles, and in the meantime a number of foreign tank designs were available for production.
