The T-70 is a light tank used by the Red Army during World War II, replacing both the T-60 scout tank for reconnaissance and the T-50 light infantry tank for infantry support. The T-80 light tank was a more advanced version of the T-70 with a two-man turret—it was produced only in very small numbers when light tank production was abandoned. [2]
The Škoda project received thus an official designation - T-50, the ČKD project received the T-51 designation, but by 1950, both projects were unified under the designation of T-50/51. Forced by the Soviet Union and pressed into accepting the Soviet tanks into their army, the Czechoslovak High Command had to abandon the support of the project.
The development of the aircraft was funded 70% by the South Korean government, 17% by KAI, and 13% by Lockheed Martin. [3] The aircraft was formally designated as the T-50 Golden Eagle in February 2000. [3] The T-50A designation was reserved by the U.S. military to prevent it from being inadvertently assigned to another aircraft model.
The T-60 scout tank was a light tank produced by the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1942. During this period, 6,292 units were built. The tank was designed to replace the obsolete T-38 amphibious scout tank and saw action during World War II. The Kingdom of Romania used the T-60 chassis to build some locally-designed tank destroyers.
T-50 with Finnish markings T-50 in Finnish service, 1944. The T-50 was an advanced design for its time, with torsion-bar suspension, diesel engine (in common with all the new Soviet tanks) and well-sloped, all-welded armor. [3] [4] [5] A notable feature was the commander's cupola. This would not appear on other Soviet tanks until 1942, which ...
MBT-70 prototype test firing an MGM-51. The most ambitious project based on the Shillelagh was the MBT-70, an advanced US–German tank. Design work on the MBT-70 began in 1963. The tank mounted a huge auto-loader turret on top of a very short chassis, so short that there was no room for a driver in the front hull. Instead of being located in ...
The T-54 and T-55 tanks are a series of Soviet medium tanks [3] introduced in the years following the Second World War. The first T-54 prototype was completed at Nizhny Tagil by the end of 1945. [4] From the late 1950s, the T-54 eventually became the main tank for armoured units of the Soviet Army, armies of the Warsaw Pact countries, and many ...
When scaled down the Titan T-51 is not wide enough to fit a standard aircraft engine, so the Titan T-51 incorporates light-sport and ultralight type aircraft engines. The most frequently applied powerplant is the Rotax 912ULS/3 , which produces 100 hp (75 kW), but the Rotax 914 UL3 , which produces 115 hp (86 kW), is also fitted by owners ...
