About this vehicle

A British tank supplied to the U.S.S.R. under Lend-Lease. In December 1941, one Matilda vehicle was equipped with the Soviet 76.2-mm ZiS-5 gun and the DT machinegun. As a result, the better penetration rate and use of HE shells significantly increased the firepower. There is no precise data on the large-scale re-equipment of vehicles.
