The T-17 tank was a Soviet Union tankette design of the interwar years. As part of a three years development plan, a "pulemetok support" battalion was to be established by December 1930. In 1926, the KB OAT begun work on a "Liliput" single light reconnaissance tank. The biggest problems the development team faced was finding a new chassis and engine.
The projected was stalled continuosly. On March 3, 1928 under the leadership of the head. motor lab AP Kushka involving LY Lalmena, as well as engineers, S. Ginsburg and E. Grote took the protection of the new draft wedgies.
Chassis and powertrain
The T-17 developers utilized the T-16 chassis and powertrain for the base model. The hull was based on the "Liliput". The power unit used two-cylinder air-cooled engine. Track chain was rubber steel.
Superstructure and armaments
Housing wedgies, which received the T-17 (often referred to as, like its predecessor, "Liliput"), was riveted to the frame. The driver, located in the wheelhouse, also operated a machine gun mounted to the right of the longitudinal axis (as was the gun option wedgies).
Testing
With long inital delays, a prototype was ready during by the end of 1929. Despite problems, slipper was tested run in January 1930, and then - in June of that year, and showed better mobility than the T-18.
Modifications
One of the biggest drawbacks wedges became single body. Therefore, one of the three tankettes ordered by the summer of 1930, had already become a double. The second version of the T-17 had rubber tracks of the Kégresse type. Series Production T-17 found it impractical, and it was decided to continue work on the double slipper with standard units of T-18.
