Just perusing my photocopy of Zaloga's SOVIET TANKS AND COMBAT VEHICLES OF WORLD WAR II last night and saw something I'd missed before.
There is mention of the SMK-2, a modification of the SMK heavy tank (developed concurrently with the T-100 heavy tank, only one prototype of each being completed along with some other chassis being converted into SPG's which also were not accepted into service). My guess is with the pressure of the Winter War, worry about Germany and work on both the KV-1/2 and the T-34 little if any work was done.
Does anyone know anything about this project; what modifications were to be made, armor, armament?
Thanks in advance.
