Tanks and armor quiz (medium level)

I… I am??? I was just joking… How about those tanks on the sides are full of liquid. And the cones… I have no clue…

Maybe its a hydogen-Peroxide run tank :mrgreen:.

Id bet its natural gas. Or maybe its a torpedo FT-17, who knows :mrgreen:

Oh, my goodness: Polish smokescreen-generator variant of the Renault FT 17, developed and tested in 1926, and equipped with two cylinders with ammonium chloride! :shock:

Here is another snapshot of this machine:

LOL :mrgreen: the Ninja tank :mrgreen:mrgreen:

Correct Librarian!

Many projects of this time were surprisingly advanced,
just remember Teletanks or the Christie tanks of the
late '20, early '30.

Your turn!:wink:

Completely agreed, my dear Mr. Sergej. And that’s exectly why we have here our new, very special armored rarity:

As usually, accurate identification of the type will be your assignment. :slight_smile:

It was probably an amphibious tank, Russian maybe, with two turrets, probably holding machine guns, or a 37mm AT gun.

I have no clue. :mrgreen:

Perfect evaluation, my der Mr. Prime Minister! Bravo! Therefore please – check all those Soviet tank designations and pick the right one. That hard-earned triumph will be completely yours! :smiley:

T-38?
T-28?(or was it T-27?)

Alas, my dear Herr Major, the answer is – no. Nevertheless, you are close enough! :slight_smile:

That’s one of innumerable variants of the T-26.
It’s an amphibious T-26 M1931 with foldable
pontoons, which were stored in front and behind
the turrets. I don’t know if the RKKA had an designation
for this tank, maybe ПТ-26…:wink:

As always – direct hit! Yes, my dear Mr. Sergej – Легкий плавающий танк Т 26 was our armored guest star. Sincerest congratulations! :smiley:

Please – carry on! :wink:

Thank you Librarian!

The T-26 is an amazing flexible tank, bridgelayers flamethrowers
and many selfpropelled guns were based on it. The 6-ton was
a truly successful design, in service from Bolivia to Thailand.

However, here is an other light Weight:

That looks like a fortress! It’s massive!

It must be pre-WWII, because of the rivets, and again, 37mm guns, and a heavy and medium machine guns in the hull. Maybe some other machine guns in the sponsons in the turret.

Again, I’m just guessing…

And you are pretty good in your deductive reasoning, my dear Mr. Prime Minister. The only thing you need is just a little bit more self-confidence. :wink:

Our mystery machine is the US Marmon Herrington CTMS-ITBI tank.

Quite right Librarian, but this one had a four-men crew.:wink:

Oh, I see… well in that case our darling is the Marmon Herrington HMTLS-1GI4"Virgie". :smiley:

That’s correct!

This tank was really massive but not due the armor or the wheight.
The armament consists of two 37mm guns (M6 I think), 4 machine guns
(three in the hull one on the turret side) and two mounts for anit-aircraft
machine guns(.50 cal.). but the tiny tank on it’s left, the M22 Locust was
even heavier (in wheight).

Your turn Librarian, but where did you got this H in (H)MTLS-1GI4?

Oh, that was only my subconscious addition for “Holland” - as for the whole of the Netherlands - since that vehicle actually also was known as “Dutch four man tank”. :slight_smile:

And now, honorable ladies and gentlemen, something completely different:

Please, put forward your solutions. :wink:

this one?

Seriously, I think it looks Italian.
