Soviet Interwar Tanks That Need Adding to War Thunder

Today in my series looking at Interwar tanks that need adding to War Thunder we take a look at Soviet Interwar tanks.

So join me as we take a look at the first Soviet attempts at domestically designing tanks during the 1920's, how Walter Christie's tanks would go on to inspire a whole bunch of Soviet tank designs and how all these various factors culminated in the excellent T-34 design of World War 2 fame!

Also apolgies for the delay, as have been busy as of late, with recording taking place in different times and areas.
