About this vehicle

The M-VI-Y is one of the projects put forward by H.L. Yoh Company Inc. as a part of the program for developing promising tanks. The project had a number of technical solutions, the most prominent of which was using a so-called reserve track. With it, the tank could move even if the main one was destroyed. The tank was never built.
