T-70M Light Tank

The T-70M appeared in 1942 based on the same chassis as the T-40 with a redesigned, welded turret and modified hull armour. Engine power was also doubled from the T-40. Over 8,200 were produced between 1942 and 1943 although the T-70M suffered from being armed with only a 45mm gun and the commander having to double as the gun loader. The T-70M remained in service until 1948.
