The T-70 is a Soviet light tank that was developed during World War II. It was designed to be a more mobile and versatile vehicle compared to heavier tanks. The T-70 featured a 45mm gun and was equipped with a two-man turret, allowing for better coordination between the driver and the gunner. This tank was primarily used for reconnaissance and support roles, often operating alongside heavier tanks like the T-34. The T-70 was produced in large numbers, with thousands built between 1942 and 1943, making it an important part of the Soviet armored forces during the war.
