Around 3 7TP tanks and some C7P Tractors which were repaired and used for trials in 1940 together with deep technical analysis of used constructions solutions. One C7P artillery tractor was found recently in Russia acting as a mock-up T-26 in Museum. There are stories that similarly to Germany C7P was used during war in artillery units. 7TP was used in Kubianka proving ground for test and trials and there is no data about using them in units. But the were displayed on exhibitions of captured weapons.

Soviet also captured some number of tankettes TK-3 and TKS. Modern photo of Ex-Polish orginal TKS in Kubianka tank Museum
