The T-24 is a Soviet medium tank from the interwar period and the beginning of World War II. The first prototypes of this vehicle were made in 1930-1931, and the car entered service in 1931 or 1932. Only about 25 vehicles of this type were manufactured during the production process. The combat weight of the tank was up to 18.5 tons. The drive was provided by a single carburettor engine with a capacity of up to 250 HP. The basic armament consisted of a single 45 mm model 1930 gun and 3 DT 7.62 mm machine guns.
The T-24 vehicle was developed as a development of the T-12 tank, and the Kharkiv Steam Engine Factory (CHPZ for short) was responsible for its production. When designing the car, emphasis was placed on the strongest possible armament and good traction. However, the tank turned out to be not very successful - it was plagued by numerous faults, poor reliability of many mechanical components and rather poor ergonomics of the crew compartment. Moreover, it was highly cost-intensive. Due to these drawbacks, the T-24 was quickly withdrawn from production in favor of the BT series. The resulting T-24s were used in combat only in the first weeks the German-Soviet war in 1941, when they were all destroyed.
Hans Lody or Z10 was a German destroyer whose keel was laid in 1935 and launched in May 1936. The destroyer entered the rope service in the German Navy (German Kriegsmarine) in September 1938. The ship was 121 m long, 11.3 m wide, and had a full displacement of 3,190 tons. The maximum speed of the Z10 destroyer was 38 knots! The main armament at the time of launch was 5 128 mm guns in five individual mounts, and the secondary armament was: 4 37 mm cannons, 6 20 mm cannons and 8 533 mm torpedo tubes.
The Z10 was the tenth ship of the class named Leberecht Maass or - more correctly - of the 1934A class. Destroyers of this type were built without taking into account the limitations of the Treaty of Versailles, which made it possible to create a series of large destroyers, at least equal to their counterparts in the British and French fleets. Many solutions were taken in their construction from the experience in the operation of torpedo boats after 1918, as well as from observations of French destroyers - especially the Le Fantasque type. Undoubtedly, the 1934A units were one of the largest destroyers of the interwar period, but they had poor sea properties and did not perform well in Arctic conditions. They had average artillery armament, with a small reserve of ammunition, but strong torpedo armament with as many as 8 spare torpedoes, which was rare in European fleets. At the outbreak of World War II in Europe, Hans Lody was patrolling the Polish coast, but he did not take part in any combat operation. At the end of 1939, he participated in the mining of English waters. From February to May 1940, it was renovated. In June and July 1940 he fought Allied merchant shipping in the North Sea. From September to December 1940, Hans Lody operated from Cherbourg and Brest against British coastal shipping. From July 1941 to November 1943, on and off, he served from bases in Norway against Soviet and Allied Arctic shipping. At the turn of 1943 and 1944, it served in the Danish Straits by building mine barriers, and from May 1944 to February 1945 it was modernized, as a result of which anti-aircraft weapons and naval performance were improved. It survived World War II and in May 1945 was seized by the British, who first sent it to the Royal Navy reserve, and in 1948 they sold it for scrap.
