Soviet T-12 Medium Tank - The concept of the T-12 consisted of a synthesis of the experience gained during the design and mass production of the T-18, and the idea of a multi-tier deployment of weapons, which was consistently tested by American engineers in the design of prototypes of a medium tank The T-12 had a simple hull structure between two tracks with small-bogie suspensionIt had a eight-sided turret with a rounded commanders cupola and a crew of four It weighed 19 tons, was 7Sm long, 3m wide, and 28m high It was armed with a typical Model 32 45mm gun,and it even had three 762mm DT machine guns in a Fedorov-lvanov ball mount - one in the commanders cupola, one next to the main gun, and one on the side of the tanks turret Like all Soviet tanks of that time, the T-12 had a removable "tail", which increases the length of the hull 690mm, and gave the opportunity to overcome the trenches up to a width of 265 meters
