Comparing: M2 Light Tank vs. T-45

M2_lt

Development of the vehicle based on the M2A3 model was started in December 1938. The tank featured a new two-man turret with more powerful armament. A total of 365 vehicles were manufactured from May 1940 through March 1941. In April 1942, ten additional tanks were produced for training purposes. Some vehicles were supplied to the U.K. under Lend-Lease, others were deployed with the U.S. Marine Corps and saw combat in the Pacific Theater.

R125_T_45

The upgraded version of the T-60 tank. Unlike the original vehicle, the T-45 featured enhanced armor and a turret with a 45-mm gun of 1938, as well as a coaxial DT machinegun. The vehicle was deemed obsolete by June 1942 as compared to the T-70. The vehicle never saw mass production. However, one manufactured prototype was sent to the front.
