Ni-1 Makeshift tank built in small Soviet factories in 1941, like Odessa, but also at Kharkov. Used a variety of tractors for the base, probably the Komsomolets mostly. Given that it did participate in battle, it seems they were beneficial given their low cost. However, since only a few hundred were built and their fate is not well-known, its difficult to evaluate their efficiency. I'm going to post this more out of curiosity for what it is. Since I don't have the answer, you guys can go ahead and post other questions.  |

The KhTZ-16 (Russian: ÕÒÇ-16) (after the Kharkiv Tractor Factory; Ukrainian: Kharkivskiy Traktorniy Zavod) was a Soviet improvised armoured vehicle of the Second World War, built on the chassis of an STZ-3 tractor. The vehicles were built in Kharkiv until the factory was evacuated to the east, at which time production moved to Stalingrad.
No less than 809 vehicles were planned, but no more than about 60 were actually built. Some vehicles were used in the fighting around Kharkiv in October 1941, but were quickly lost.
The vehicle was operated by a crew of two, and armed with a 45mm anti-tank gun and a 7.62mm DT or Degtyarev light machine gun mounted in a fixed superstructure.Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KhTZ-16_________________________________________________ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ “The civil agricultural tractor STZ-3 played a significant role as artillery prime mover during WWII, but also it was used as the base for the self-made tanks in 1941. Soviet army lost a huge amounts of tanks in summer 1941 and because of their great shortage Kharkov tractor factory developed and produced in 1941 several models of “tractor-tanks”. This “armored” model had official designation KhTZ-16. It was planned to produce 750 such “tractor-tanks” in August-September 1941, but only 50-60 were produced before the capturing of the plant by German Army in October 1941. 55-69 armored STZ-3 tractors (some with the turrets from T-26 light tanks) with light gun + 2 MGs were produced at Odessa during the autumn 1941. They were named “NI” (“Na Ispug” – “to cause consternation”) .” The shown version was in fact the KhTZ-16. (No turret) Tedi... you may proceed....

You're on the right track my friend... I guess I had better answer it... 35mm WW2 Japanese Type 89 “Rokuoh-Sha” (made by Konica) Air force Machine Gun Movie Camera that they used for Training Machine Gunners. This could be mounted on the wing and controlled remotely (by the wires in the case) or mounted in the Waist Gunner’s position for hands on target practice.  |
