Red Army artillery tractor produced in 7780 pieces by STZ and GAZ factories in 1937-1941. It was lightly armoured in the driver's and commander's area, the gunner sitting in the rear was not protected in any way. It was used to haul 45mm PTKs, and at the same time it carried the gun crew - 6 people (on two folding longitudinally placed benches). The benches could be folded down and in their place a small loading area was created to carry the cargo.

This was one of the very common RA tractors, especially at the beginning of the war. It was captured and used in large numbers by the Germans (designation l.gp.Art.S.630(r)). Also the Slovak army showed a few pieces for which but I have no idea if they were mobile. Several pieces are still preserved and can be seen in Kubinka, Parole and perhaps elsewhere.

Slovak army had 9 pieces. They had assigned registration numbers. They belonged to the Assault Carriage Regiment in Martin. Only one of them was operational. In 1943 they were assigned to the pioneer (engineer) battalion as training targets for practice against tanks. Whether they were all destroyed during the training I do not know.

Useful T-20 Komsomolets already in Finnish markings, place and date of photo unknown. The padded seats for transporting the operator of the towed gun are tipped up.
