T-26b and T-26c Thousands of these were built before the war as "fast tanks", and formed the majority of Russian stocks at the beginning of the war.

T-60 This light tank entered production in November 1941 and about 6,000 were built. It was armed with a 20mm gun T-70 The T-70 began production in early 1942 and over 8,000 were made. It carried a 45mm gun but many different versions were produced (e.1g. flame thrower tank, artillery tractor, command vehicle, etc.). The T-70 chassis was also used for the SU-76 SP gun.
