The first prototypes of the T-60 light reconnaissance tank were made in 1941. In the same year, mass production started, which ended in 1943 with the production of over 6,000 copies of this car. The T-60 tank was powered by a 70 HP GAZ-202 engine or an 85 HP GAZ-203 engine. Its main armament was a 20mm automatic cannon (housed in a rotating turret), and its auxiliary armament was a single 7.62mm DT machine gun. The T-60 tank was developed as the main reconnaissance tank of the Red Army. It had many advantages: above all, high maneuverability, a decent degree of mechanical reliability and good suspension. Its main disadvantage - very poor armor - can be explained by the tank's intended use for reconnaissance. Based on the basic version, several derivative versions were created, for example: the BM-8-24, which was a self-propelled unguided missile launcher, or the A-40 KT, which was a tank adapted to… glider flights! The T-60 tank was used on a large scale by the Red Army from the end of 1941 until 1945, e.g. in the Stalingrad operation in 1942-1943 or in Operation Bagration in 1944.
