Historical description:

The Vickers 6-Ton (officially: Vickers Mark E Alternative B) is a groundbreaking British light tank design developed in 1928. Created by John Carden and Vivian Loyd, it was intended for export markets. Thanks to its innovative suspension, compact build, and turret armed with a 47 mm gun paired with a machine gun, it had a tremendous impact on the development of armored vehicles in the 1930s. This tank was sold to many countries, including Finland, where its examples participated in the Winter War with the USSR (1939–1940) and subsequent fighting during the Continuation War (1941–1944). The suspension and Vickers design influenced later Soviet T-26 and the Polish 7TP tanks.
