Plan for experimental design work at the Bolshevik factory for 1933-1934
  1. B-14-1 100 mm AA gun. Due: November 1933
  2. #23 order #17735 - self propelled mount for 400 mm, 305 mm, and 203 mm artillery systems
    1. Amount: one
    2. Due dates:
      1. Project: March 1932
      2. Working blueprints: September 1932
      3. Experimental prototype: July 1933
    3. Approximate cost: 
      1. Project: 45 000 rubles
      2. Working blueprints: 200 000 rubles
    4. Experimental prototype: 1 000 000 rubles
      The costs include the "triplex" development from 1932
  3. #27 project for arming the BT with a 107 mm gun. The project is not formalized."
The production figures are indicative of the early T-26 problems, but all the good stuff is in the experimental section. The heavy triplex SPG is, of course, the SU-7, but the BT with a 107 mm gun is something I have never heard of before.

  1. I'm not sure if the BT chassis could handle the recoil of the 107 mm gun...then again, it might surprise me.

    1. Keep an eye on FTR, you will be more surprised :)
