Description:
HISTORY:

The Garford-Putilov Armoured Car was developed by the Russian Empire during World War I as a heavy armored support vehicle for frontline troops. To create a powerful yet mobile fighting vehicle, Russian engineers mounted thick armor and a rotating turret armed with a 76.2 mm naval gun onto a modified Garford truck chassis produced by the Putilov Factory. The resulting armored car had strong firepower capable of supporting infantry and engaging enemy positions, but its heavy weight and relatively weak engine limited its mobility, especially on rough terrain. Despite these drawbacks, the vehicle served effectively on the Eastern Front and remained in use during the early stages of the Russian Civil War, where both sides operated captured examples.
