About this vehicle

The project was developed at Factory No. 183 by engineer I.S. Ber in April 1941. The vehicle was to be manufactured in three versions with different armor, armament, combat weight, and speed characteristics. The creation of the prototype was scheduled for the beginning of 1942. However, the project was discontinued due to the outbreak of the war and evacuation.
