D-12 armoured car (Soviet)

Description

The Soviet D-12 armoured car was a light vehicle designed for reconnaissance and anti-aircraft purposes during World War 2. It was based on the GAZ-A automobile, which was a licensed copy of the Ford Model A. The D-12 was a modified version of the earlier D-8 armoured car, which was created by engineer N.I. Dyrenkov in 1931.

The main difference between the two models was the open roof of the D-12, which allowed for a ring-mounted 7.62mm machine gun to be used against low-flying aircraft. The D-12 had a crew of three and a maximum speed of 70 km/h. It was lightly armoured, with only 4 to 6 mm of steel protection. The D-12 was produced in small numbers, around 60 units, and saw limited service with the Red Army until 1941 .
