Description

PT-1 - Soviet light amphibious tank. It developed in 1932 at the Moscow plant number 37 under the direction of Nikolai Alexandrovich Astrova.
Created by the design bureau "CB-T" on the industrial base of the plant "Red Proletarian". The construction of the tank were to apply the concept of wheel-tracked tank with the ability to swim. It has been widely used units and technical decisions of BT series tanks. For its time, it was a unique machine, surpassing all foreign intelligence and floating tanks firepower, protection and road performance.

The car turned out to be so successful that in the resolution of SRT "On the system of tank armament of the Red Army" of 13 August 1933, in particular, said: "From 1934 to begin a gradual introduction of as an operating tank floating machine PT-1 in such a way, from 1936 to switch completely to start production of the tank at the base and through the production of the BT. " That is, if not the general technological backwardness of Soviet industry at that time - the Red Army could well become the first army, having as main machine - floating-speed wheel-track tank. But - because the aforesaid retardation has already taken place, in view of a much more complex structure compared to conventional BT - Tank PT-1 (which is the efforts of the designers was virtually perfected to the version PT-1A) in the series and did not hit. To master this machine, our industry at that time could not. And so, according to the decision of 19 June SRT 1935, it was decided to "leave armed with tanks BT. Refuse to replace it on the PT-1. "
