I kind of miss this category of Armored River Boats here.
And therefore the 1st in a series:
BKT-1124 is an armored river boat with cannon armament in two turrets - taken essentially unchanged from the tanks T-28/T-35 and later T-34.
The first mentions I know are from 1941. but with cannon armament in the towers of the T-28/T-35 and the designation vz.42.
Vz.43 use the towers of all versions of the T-34 tank until the date of their creation available. We can therefore see on their decks towers vz.40, 41, 42, 42STZ, 42 "ulučšenyje", 42 "nuts" of all manufacturers, 42-43 and 43. Or even such exotics as towers from T-34m vz.41, T -34M vz.42 and various prototypes of the "S" series. After reconstructions we can even find towers from T-34-85 !!
