The T-20 Komsomolets was a Soviet armoured, fully tracked artillery tractor, designed in 1936 at the Ordzhonikidze Moscow Plant No. 37. It was built from 1937 to 1941 at Factory No. 37 and also at STZ and GAZ, and about 4,401 were produced. Its forward compartment for the driver and vehicle commander was fully armoured and carried a ball-mounted DT machine gun, while the rear held up to six crewmen on outward-facing bench seats under a canvas top. It towed light guns such as the 45 mm anti-tank gun and the 120 mm heavy mortar, together with a small quantity of ammunition on a limber. Although designed as a prime mover, some were used in combat in 1941 and the type was also employed as a tankette, and captured examples served with Finland, Germany and Romania.
