Thank you It was kind of surreal to consider the Vickers 6 ton the "tiger" of the battle, but it truly was.
And the Spanish Nationalists offered a nice bounty for any working T-26 handed over, as that was the "tigger" of the SCW. But a few short years later that same tank was just target practice material.

BTW - the Vickers medium is not in the 6 ton family, that was a smaller export model. And T-26 was a licensed copy of it, as were many local tank projects pre-war. T-26 was a developed 6 tonner, that had a main gun and a co-ax in the same turret.
