Flame-throwing tank OT-133.
The OT-133 flame-throwing tank was developed in the USSR in 1939. It was a result of further updating of the OT-131 and OT-132 flame-throwing tanks which were created on the basis of the T-26 tank (with a conic turret), the version of 1937-1939. Tank was armed with a flame-thrower, the version of 1938, and had one or two 7.62mm MG.
Besides its ordinary characteristics the flame-thrower when using a compressor had an ability to eject fuel mixture up to 100 meters. Later on these tanks were equipped with additional armoured shields (OT-133E). Many of these tanks were captured by Finland in 1940 and Germany in 1941-1942 because they were too vulnerable to armour-piercing artillery. There were manufactured a few hander's tanks of such a type between 1939 and 1940.
