TU-26 tank – Central Armed Forces Museum, Moscow (Russia) This TU-26 radio-control tank is one of the unique exhibits of the Central Army Museum. Almost the same than the T-26, but with 3 aerial mounts (2 of them are now removed). It was used to control TT-26 radio-controlled tanks. This tank served in 217 Independent Tank Batallion and was used in Winter War in Finland. Later, the batallion was renamed “57 Independent Tank Batallion”. It was used in Fall 1941 as an ordinary T-26 tank, and later evacuated to Ryazan. In 1944, It went to the Kubinka proving ground. It is the only survivor of its kind. Only one TT-26 radio-controlled tank (the counter part of the TU-26 radio-control tank) also survived. It is located in Patriot park in Kubinka, see below (Yuri Pasholok)
