Plan for experimental design work at the Bolshevik factory for 1933-1934
- B-14-1 100 mm AA gun. Due: November 1933
- #23 order #17735 - self propelled mount for 400 mm, 305 mm, and 203 mm artillery systems
- Amount: one
- Due dates:
- Project: March 1932
- Working blueprints: September 1932
- Experimental prototype: July 1933
- Approximate cost:
- Project: 45 000 rubles
- Working blueprints: 200 000 rubles
- Experimental prototype: 1 000 000 rubles
The costs include the "triplex" development from 1932 - #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.
I'm not sure if the BT chassis could handle the recoil of the 107 mm gun...then again, it might surprise me.
