Illustration of a Soviet T-26 light tank used in the Spanish Civil War. Initially fielded by the Republican side soon it became a valuable asset and ended up serving in the Nationalist Army too.
Armed with a 45mm gun it was the most powerful tank in the war (along with the BT series) although it was obsolete by the beginning of WW2 and were destroyed by the hundreds in the German invasion of the URSS in 1941.
