On September 1, 1942, 1662 cars remained in the army. In the absence of other tractors, they were used for towing more severe small-caliber anti-aircraft and divisional artillery, working with overload. In addition, in the summer of 1941, during the defense and applying the counterdresters, the Komsomolets tractor was sometimes used as machine-gun tanks to combat infantry. Used "Komsomol members" and partisans - they were perfect machines For forest roads, besides, always secured by road spare parts.

A lot says that the mechanization of the troops did not pay for the mechanization of the troops in the Red Army. But since 1936, the cavalry parts are reduced and the formation on their basis of armored troops. The mechanization of the army rises, namely artillery.

One of the means of improving mobility Creating special tractors of the battlefield, which could immediately transport the crew and the ammunition to the firing position, possibly under the fire of the opponent, and subsequently accompany the upcoming troops. It was assumed to have as part of each rifle division at least 60 tractors of this type. One of them artillery armored tractor T-20 "Komsomolets".

T-20 tractories were used until the end of World War II, including both light tanks / wets and even tools of the Red Army and as trophies of German armies, Finland and Romania.

The creation of T-20 was preceded by a whole series of experiments. As a temporary solution as a tractor used T-27 wedges, removed from the operation of the system parts. A more successful attempt was the creation in 1935 by the Pioneer Truck, based on the British Vickers, from which the chart of the chassis was borrowed. The car turned out to be good, but too close and with minimal booking of the body. The car did not suit the army and immediately after the start of the serial production of Pionera began to look for a replacement. The design of the new artillery tractor has now been done by KB NATI under the leadership of N. A. Astrov. Using the experience gained when creating floating tanks T-37A and T-38, Astrovtsy offered a project at a qualitatively new level, providing for a full reservation of the driver of the driver's mechanic and the arrow commander.

The housing of the tractor, structurally shared into three parts. In front was placed transmission borrowed from truck GAZ-AA. Next was the control station protected by armored superstructure. The driver's seat was from the left side. From the right side there was a place of commander of the car, which also served as a machine gunner. The only machine gun DT caliber 7.62-mm was placed in a ball installation on the right and had a small shelling sector, being more coursework. Cartridge drawers designed for 1008 ammunition were placed on two racks.

The engine compartment was located in the middle part of the case. 4-cylinder installed here gas engine MM-6002 (refined gas-M) with a capacity of 50 hp, equipped liquid system Cooling, with Zenit carburetor, economizer and enrichment. The maximum capacity of the two fuel tanks was 121.7 liters, and 115 liters accounted for 115 liters, and the additional accumulated up to 6.7 liters of fuel. Motor compartment Closed armored hood with folding lids. The cargo compartment was located above the engine behind the armor partition. As in the "pioneer", it was divided into two sections with triple seats, each of which was closed by armored lids. Engineers provided for the following option to use. Being turned outwards, the seats were formed by their backs on the side of the cargo platform for the carriage of the ammunition and artillery equipment. When transporting artillerymen was placed back to each other, in the dimensions of the tractor. In rainy weather, with long marches, a closed awning could be installed with windows, while the height of the machine increased to 2.23 m.

Booking the case was differentiated. The frontal armorists who defended the transmission compartment and the control department had a thickness of 10 mm. 7 mm armor closed the side and feed. Almost all armor sheets were connected on a metal frame with rivets and bolts. From entering shells, 10-mm armor did not save, but reliably protected from bullets and fragments.

When driving on the highway maximum speed T-20 reached 50 km / h. With a tow-towed 2-ton trailer and full weight 4100 kg Speed \u200b\u200bdecreased to 40 km / h, and the average ammoun was 15-20 km / h, depending on the type of road coating. At the road, the speed was reduced to 8-10 km / h, but at the same time the T-20 could move with a roll of 40 ° and throw the trees with a diameter of up to 18 cm. The maximum overcome rise with the crew of two people and the full refueling without a trailer reached 45 °; With a full combat mass and a trailer weighing 2000 kg to 18 °. An unpleasant moment was a big emission of dirt from the tractor tracks, "thanks" what the towing tool had to put in order after the march.

The production of T-20 tractors have deployed from December 1937 at the plant number 37, where floating T-38 floating packs and components, as well as on special manufacturas, and gas were also manufactured. Due to the simple design and unification of its individual elements, the release of finished products passed by a high rate. As a result, it turned out very interesting situation - On January 1, 1941, the customer in the face of the Red Army accepted the 4401 car of three episodes (20.5% of the special tractor fleet), when they laid according to state 2810. By June 22, 1941, the total number of tractors was already 6,700 units. The car was easy to operate and reliable in technical terms. Until August, 7780 cars were collected, absolutely most of which got to the front.

After all the improvements and changes made, we can conclude that the T-20 turned out to be quite a suitable car. A small, fast (according to the standards of that time), maneuverable, it was used not only as a tractor, but also replaced the wedges and armored vessels during intelligence. At the beginning of the war, the design bureau V. G. Strub, on the basis of the tractor, an anti-tank artillery self-propelled installation was developed, armed with a 57-mm gun. Under the designation of the ZIS-30, about a hundred of these installations were used in artillery anti-tank batteries of tank brigades. We used "Komsomol members" and partisans - they turned out to be perfect machines for forest roads, besides always provided by road spare parts. Our opponents also appreciated the Komsomolets, and the trophy machines were used as a Wehrmacht and allies of Germany. In general, the very good and useful machine turned out. The T-20 war pulled out "Sorokatki" and "Collens", and after the war actually became the prototype of MT-LB.

  In the city of Schelkovo, at home number 7 on Komarova Street there is a cozy playground. Now it is noisy: a pile of kids is having fun on the stairs of the houses and the slings below the gaze of moms and grandmothers. It is on this site a few days ago a little boy Sasha turned out to be incomprehensible to anyone. The same, parents, relatives or people, at least something knowledgeable about the child, are now looking for through social networks and announcements about the search.

Komsomolets is a light half-edged front edge tractor intended for anti-tank artillery.

The predecessor of the Komsomol Center was a light tractor "Pioneer", designed in 1935 in the Scientific Auto Tractor Institute (NATO) under the leadership of A. S. Shcheglov on the sample of the Russian Tractor "Marmon Herington" with the Ford Car Engine V-8.

Besides predecessor

The car was very short and narrow. Its mass was only 1500 kg, speed up to 50 km / h. The driver sat in the middle, right above the gearbox, and was covered in front with a protective casing. Behind him, there were six seats, three in a row mounted backs inwards, on which side, closely, the fighters of the instrument calculation were placed.

The first batch of "pioneers" (50 units, according to other data - 25) issued at Moscow Plant No. 37. Ordzhonikidze in 1936. And on November 7 of the same year, the tractor was already attended in a parade on Red Square. The production continued to 1937. In the troops they did not take root due to instability when driving and on turns, low traction properties and low capacity.

Test

The design of the new light tractor was engaged in KB NATI under the leadership of N. A. Astrov. Army tests of the Komsomol Member, held in August - November 1937, showed that, subject to the elimination of individual flaws, it can be accepted for the supply of the Red Army. When moving along the highway, the maximum speed reached up to 50 km / h. With a touched 2-ton trailer and total weight of 4100 kg, the speed was reduced to 40 km / h, and the average average was 15-20 km / h depending on the type of road coating. At the off-road speed declined to 8-10 km / h, but at the same time the tractor could move with a 40 ° roll and throw the trees with a diameter of 18 cm. The maximum overcomes of the rise with the crew of two people and the full refueling without a trailer reached 45 °. With full combat mass and trailer weighing 2000 kg - up to 18 °. The radius of turning in place was only 2.4 m, which was also evaluated positively, given the high demands on the maneuverability of the machine. The A-20 tractor can tow the trailer with a loading capacity of 2 tons, but when the reduced transfer of the demultiplier is turned on, this indicator increased to 3 tons. Such indicators were quite suitable for army requirements.

Unfortunately, car Engine, not designed for long-term hard work on the tracked tractor, was overloaded and often faced a prerequisite. However, others suitable motors Then the USSR was simply not.

PRODUCTION

The production of Komsomolov residents have deployed from December 1937 at factory No. 37, where the floating tanks T-38 and components for them, as well as on the special manufacturers of the Code and gas, were also manufactured.

Due to the simple design and unification of its individual elements, the release was held with high rates. As a result, as a result, on January 1, 1941, the customer in the face of the Red Army accepted the 4401 car of three series (20.5% of the special tractor fleet), with 810. Next, by June 22, 1941, the total number of tractors was already 6,700 units. The car was easy to operate and reliable in technical terms. It could have been released significantly longer if the war did not start with Germany. Already in July, Plant No. 37 received orders for light T-40 tanks, and then at T-30 and T-60. From August "Komsomol members" no longer produced. Until this time, it was possible to collect 7780 cars, most of which fell to the front.

During the defensive battle of June - August 1941, the Western Front was irretrievably lost 46 artillery regiments, which could not be exit from the environment. All material part, including tractors and tractors, was left in the territory busy opponent. Only about 1 thousand units were lost only by the T-20 tractor. By the end of the Great Patriotic War T-20 tractor continued to exploit only the composition of the Far Eastern and Trans-Baikal military districts, where they were numbered at least 800 cars.

Constructive features

Using the experience gained when creating floating tanks T-37A and T-38, the project of KB N. A. Astrova provided for a full booking of the driver of the driver's mechanic and the arrow commander.

The input of the short operation of the "pioneers" revealed the need for armor protection of the driver, engine, radiator and gas tank from the fire of small arms, as the tractor should work in close proximity to the enemy - in the zone of likely shelling.

Design Description

The housing of the tractor was structurally divided into three parts. Transmission was placed ahead. It consisted of one-piece main friction friction of a four-stage gearbox, a one-step demultiplier (from gas-AAA vehicle) to obtain direct or slow gears, conical main transmission, two multi-disc drinkers with tape brakes with fades from Ferodo and two onboard single-stage gearboxes. The main friction, gearbox and conical main transmission were borrowed from gas-aa truck. The gearbox provided four transmissions forward and one back.

The transmission contained a control station protected by an armored cabin. The driver's seat was located on the left, and the commander of the car, at the same time who carried out the duties of the machine gunner, to the right. A 6.62 mm dt machine gun was located in the ball in the right and had a relatively small shelling sector. The ammunition consisting of 1008 ammunition was placed on two racks. One rack on six disks was behind the driver's seat. The second, three disks - to the right of the commander. Six six more disks were laid in special machines, and the last 16th was immediately installed on the machine gun. The currency currency of the 3rd series increased by one disk, it consisted of 1071 cartridges.

For review used hatches in the windshield and onboard armoredirs of the cabin, in which there were observed sluts, and starting with the 2nd series machines - Triplex glass. In the roof of the cabin, two rectangular landing hatch and the crew landing were performed. In the open position, they were held in crochet retainers, and in the closed, "snaps".

The engine compartment was located in the middle part of the case. 4-cylinder was installed here carburetor Engine M-1 with a capacity of 50 liters. from. (37kW), equipped with a liquid cooling system, with a "Zenit" carburetor, economizer and enrichment. The air for the cooling system was originally closed by a fan through the side air intakes over the tracks that when driving in dry weather caused the engine pollution and its fast wear. A separate hatch under the yield of cooling air, made in the feed of the Armorist, on the prototype and machines of the 1st series were covered by armored blinds. The maximum capacity of the two fuel tanks was 121.7 liters, and 115 liters accounted for the main one, and the additional accomplished up to 6.7 liters of fuel. The engine compartment was closed by an armored hood with folding covers. The start of the engine was carried out using the MAF-4006 electric starter with a capacity of 0.8-0.9 liters. from. (0.6-0.7 kW) or from a crown handle. In the ignition system, the IG-4085 bobbin and the IMF-4003 interrupter was used.

The cargo compartment was located above the engine behind the armor partition. In the cargo compartment along the longitudinal axis of the car, two seats were installed for the transport of an instrument calculation, which consisted of six people. Being turned outward, they formed their backs on the side of the cargo platform for the carriage of the ammunition and artillery equipment. In rainy weather, with prolonged marches, a closed awning was installed with windows, while the height of the machine increased to 2.23 m. In the bottom of the case, six round hatches closed with hatched with rubber layers were made. The hatches were located under the engine crankcase triggers, gearbox, demultiplier, main transmission, fuel tank and radiator.

Booking the housing was differentiated and had a rational form. The frontal armorists who defended the transmission compartment and the control department had a thickness of 10 mm. Side and feed closed 7-mm armor. Almost all armor sheets were connected on a metal frame with rivets and bolts. From entering shells, 10-mm armor did not save, but reliably protected from bullets and fragments.

The elements of the chassis are supporting and supporting rollers, driving wheels and small-grained caterpillars - borrowed from the floating tank T-38. Trolleys with blocked pairwise support rollers, unlike tank, had a more compact spring suspension, which made it possible to reduce the height of the caterpillar blade for convenient placement of the calculation. Initially, the rear reference roller operated the role and guide wheels, but due to the frequent cases of tipping the trolley that could not be prevented by installing the limiter, it was necessary to introduce a separate guide wheel. Unfortunately, the use of silent rubberous caterpillar with metal plins was not justified and applied to the experimental manner - she often scored.

The electrical equipment of the machine was performed on a single-wire diagram. The voltage of the onboard network was 6 V. as sources of electricity were used accumulator battery ZSTE-100 capacity of 100 A-h and GBF-4105 generator voltage 6-8 in a capacity of 60-80 W. The means of external and internal communications on the machine were not installed. Outdoor lighting was provided by two headlights fixed on the windshield sheet of the case, and one dimensional lantern on the feed of the Armorist. In combat conditions, the headlights were removed and stacked inside the body.

Well, recently renewed the update of Ninth and in it, finally, added the long-awaited "Detachment 2.0", German anti-tank grenades, but for me, perhaps, the most important was the new T-20 Komsomolet. Historically, T-20 is a Soviet tracked armored artillery tractor, however, due to the lack of artillery in the game (or for what other reasons) this species Transport has become a replacement for old-kind gas. The article was conceived as a guide review, therefore I will try to consider his main advantages of a minuses, explain the tactics of actions and make a conclusion whether it should be bought at all.

The Komsomolets opened at the 5th level of stripes "Driving" and costs 79K loans or 950 Gold. In principle, not expensive, and it is not so long to open. This is probably plus. What rushes into the eyes at the first look at him? Of course, there are bad armored boards, or rather, in general, their absence is a huge minus. But the arrows and the driver and that is good). T-20 drives slower than gas, but, in theory, it is more passing. Of all this we can say that it is not very suitable for the transport of passengers, except from reps to the first point, but still not advise. Honestly, I don't even know that from infantry transport is an analogue to him, because Cattencard and viszl and closely do not stand next to him. And the rozlights do not have such an excellent protection arrow (what to talk about jeeps) Personally, he recalled the machine of intelligence, and therefore his functions are similar. This is a real moving fortress. It is great for defense and support for attack. That I mean, came, hid in the bushes, switched to the machine gunner, shoot enemies while the timmes capture the point, went further and again first. The main thing is to look more often, because it is impossible to remove the machine gunner, but with flanks can come around. In principle, there is nothing more on tactics, but there is nothing to say, but the question that is probably tormented by many fans is: "Is it worth buying it at all?". Well, my answer is ambiguous. I bought it as my Soviet Pecha has the whole technique, except for anti-aircraft guns AAA, and therefore I have something to go. But it will not be a replacement of gas, it is not suitable for transporting attack aircraft and in general for active movement on the map, because if you already have a motorcycle and horn, you can safely buy, but if you swing a new pector, then I would advise you to first buy gas, It is already opening a motorcycle and only then buy T-20.
