The T-50 was intended to replace the T-26 series and featured a number of improvements in running gear and armour layout. As war nearer, however, some clever comrade noticed that it cost nearly as much to produce a T-50 as it did to make one of the new T-34 medium tanks. Which certainly explains why you may not have seen one before!

And here I was thinking that cost had no place in the great workers paradise! Capitalism is indeed insidious...hehehe
Nice looking tank, and I must admit to not seeing this one before.
Nice- a blocky little fella isn't he. IIRC they saw a fair bit of action around Lennigrad. Pretty sure the Finns captured some....
Cheers,

I bloody well hate these things due to their "totally historically accurate" portrayal in World of Tanks. Nice little transitional tank between the T-26 and T-34, but I still hate them so....

Clearly management accountancy was alive and well in the USSR!

The Finns did indeed capture at least one : http://www.jaegerplatoon.net/T50_1.jpg
