Spanish Nationalist improvised armored car, armed with the turret off of a Republican T-26 tank likely during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939)

when armoured cars had style
Hey modern armoured cars can look pretty sick too
What's shitty about it? That thing's gorgeous
I was mostly confused by seeing the T-26 turret on a not ugly chassis! Like, who knew that replacing the body could actually improve the aesthetics of the turret?
I wanna see this rock up at a derby
Death race derby
Stylish! Vaguely art deco.
I love the old version of run-flats. Just stick a hard tire on the outside of the rim to catch the car when the soft tires go.
Dual tires up front and no power steering, driving that thing had to suck.
Nope those are run flats! The air filled tire is actually contacting the ground and the other tire is a solid rubber one being held up off the ground by the air tire. Tire goes pop, it still has the hard tire to roll on. Look close at the back wheel and you can see the contact difference
It’s all classy and fun until someone targets the unprotected engine grill
It looks like the rear end is solid armor, so I wonder if they "advanced" the vehicle by running it in reverse.

good bot
yoo imagine driving this whip down town
Fight in style
That is not a shitty technical, thats a swaggy technical.
Straight out of a Tintin comic book
This is the best comment.
Its absolutely adorable.
I can’t tell if it’s just massive or if the pic was taken at a low angle
If that’s improvised, I wanna see what they do with a good design, this thing has style
Fuck Franco to hell and back... but that's a sleek technical
Luckily for you, both the armoured car and the T-26 where republican vehicles! the one in the picture was simply captured by the nationalists!
That's very similar to https://www.reddit.com/r/shittytechnicals/comments/f0g5gv/skoda_paii_zelva_armoured_car_during_the_austrian Must've been part of the zeitgeist.
A E S T H E T I C technicals
Not as good as the anarchist snail tank of the same conflict.
And how did those anarchists fair?
I think the turret is from a bt5/bt7 not a t26 as t26 turrets were bigger and more round than this one which looks exactly the same as bt5/7 turret
Finna pick up shawty in the new whip 😎😩💯🔥
Juan March where you at
Question: >!Does a armored technical corvette exist?!<
It looks like an armored and aardvark with a turret on it!
For just a split second I thought that was Gru’s logo on the side. Had to do a double take
Isn't that a bt5 turret and not a t-26?
I’ve seen this labeled as a T-26 in at least two places, but it could be wrong (and I’m not an expert in interwar Soviet tank models). Good question!
That wheelbase tho
This thing looks like it came straight out of Tintin and the Blue Lotus
This looks sick af...
Ok joke aside this thing looks surprisingly beautiful
Republicans are just so violent. Glad they didn’t use something like this when they seized control of Congress.
Wrong type of republican
That’s not from a t26 it is from a bt1 or 5
