Ithangi elikhanyayo T-18m I-tank iwumphumela wesimanje sethangi lokuqala lomklamo weSoviet MS-1938 (Escort Encane - owokuqala) owenziwe ngo-1. Ithangi lamukelwa yi-Red Army ngo-1927 futhi lakhiqizwa ngobuningi cishe iminyaka emine. Zingu-950 izimoto ezikhiqiziwe. I-hull kanye ne-turret kwakuhlanganiswe ngokuzulazula kusuka kumapuleti ezikhali ezigoqiwe. Ukudluliswa komshini kwakusendaweni efanayo nenjini futhi yayihlanganisa i-multi-plate main clutch, i-gearbox enamagiya amathathu, umehluko we-bevel nama-band brakes (i-turning mechanism) kanye nokushayela kwesiteji esisodwa. Indlela yokujika iqinisekise ukuphenduka kwethangi elinendawo encane elingana nobubanzi bethrekhi yalo (1,41 m). Isibhamu seHotchkiss esingu-37 mm kanye ne-18-mm machine gun zibekwe endaweni eyindilinga. Ukwandisa i-patency yethangi ngokusebenzisa imisele nemisele, ithangi lalifakwe okuthiwa "umsila". Ngesikhathi sesimanje, ethangini kwafakwa injini enamandla kakhulu, umsila wadilizwa, ithangi lalihlome ngenganono engu-45 mm yemodeli ka-1932 enamandla amakhulu ezinhlamvu. Ezinyangeni zokuqala zempi, amathangi e-T-18m asetshenziswa njengendawo yokudubula engaguquki ohlelweni lwezivikelo zemingcele yaseSoviet. Umlando wokudalwa kwethangi Ithangi elikhanyayo i-T-18 (MS-1 noma i-"Russian Renault"). Phakathi neMpi Yombango eRussia, amathangi akwa-Renault alwa emasosheni angenele, naphakathi kwabaMhlophe, nase-Red Army. Ekwindla ka-1918, i-3rd Renault Company ye-303rd Assault Artillery Regiment yathunyelwa ukusiza i-Romania. Wethula ngo-Okthoba 4 ethekwini laseGreece laseThessaloniki, kodwa wayengenaso isikhathi sokubamba iqhaza empini. Kakade ngoDisemba 12, inkampani yaphela e-Odessa kanye namasosha aseFrance namaGreki. Ngokokuqala ngqa, la amathangi angena empini ngo-February 7, 1919, esekela, kanye nesitimela esihlomile esimhlophe, ukuhlasela kwezingane zasePoland eduze neTiraspol. Kamuva, empini eseduze ne-Berezovka, ithangi elilodwa le-Renault FT-17 lonakaliswa futhi labanjwa yi-Second Ukrainian Red Army ngo-March 1919 ngemva kokulwa namayunithi kaDenikin. Imoto yathunyelwa eMoscow njengesipho ku-V. I. Lenin, owanikeza imiyalelo yokuhlela ukukhiqizwa kwemishini efanayo yaseSoviet ngesisekelo sayo. Walethwa eMoscow, ngoMeyi 1, 1919, wadlula eRed Square, futhi kamuva wahanjiswa embonini yaseSormovo futhi wasebenza njengesibonelo sokwakhiwa kwamathangi okuqala aseSoviet Renault Russian. Lawa amathangi, aziwa nangokuthi "M", akhiwe ngenani lezicucu ezingu-16, ahlinzekwa ngezinjini zohlobo lwe-Fiat ezinamandla angu-34 hp. nemibhoshongo ecijile; kamuva, izikhali ezixubile zafakwa ezingxenyeni zamathangi - inganono engu-37-mm ngaphambili kanye nesibhamu somshini ngakwesokudla kwe-turret. Ekwindla ka-1918, i-Renault FT-17 eyathunjwa yathunyelwa esitshalweni saseSormovo. Ithimba labaklami behhovisi lezobuchwepheshe ngesikhathi esifushane kusukela ngo-September kuya ku-December 1919 lakha imidwebo yomshini omusha. Ekukhiqizeni ithangi, i-Sormovichi yabambisana namanye amabhizinisi ezweni. Ngakho imboni ye-Izhora yahlinzeka ngamapuleti ezikhali aginqikayo, futhi imboni yaseMoscow AMO (manje eyi-ZIL) yahlinzeka ngezinjini. Naphezu kobunzima obuningi, ezinyangeni eziyisishiyagalombili ngemva kokuqala kokukhiqiza (August 31, 1920), ithangi lokuqala laseSoviet laphuma esitolo somhlangano. Wathola igama elithi "Freedom Fighter Comrade Lenin". Kusukela ngomhlaka-13 kuya ku-21 Novemba, ithangi laqeda uhlelo lokuhlola olusemthethweni. Isakhiwo se-prototype sigcinwa emotweni. Ngaphambili kwakukhona indawo yokulawula, phakathi nendawo - ukulwa, ngemuva kwe-motor-transmission. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, umbono omuhle wendawo wanikezwa kusukela endaweni yomshayeli kanye nomphathi-gun, owakha abasebenzi, ngaphezu kwalokho, indawo engenakufinyeleleka ekuqondeni kwe-tank ukuya phambili yayincane. Umzimba kanye ne-turret kwakuyizivikelo zefreyimu ezingangenwa izinhlamvu. Amapuleti ezikhali zezindawo ezingaphambili ze-hull kanye ne-turret athambekele kuma-engeli amakhulu endizeni eqondile, eyandisa izakhiwo zabo zokuzivikela, futhi axhunywe nama-rivets. Isibhamu sethangi le-Hotchkiss esingu-37 mm esine-shoulder rest noma i-18-mm machine gun safakwa eshidini elingaphambili le-turret kumaski. Ezinye izimoto zazixube izikhali (isibhamu somshini nenganono). izindawo zokubuka. Zazingekho izindlela zokuxhumana zangaphandle. I-tank ifakwe injini yemoto ene-cylinder ezine, umugqa owodwa, i-liquid-cooled enamandla angu-34 hp, okuvumela ukuthi ihambe ngesivinini esingu-8,5 km / h. Emkhunjini, yayitholakala ngobude futhi iqondiswe yi-flywheel ibheke emnsalweni. Ukudluliswa kwemishini kusuka ku-conical main clutch of friction eyomile (insimbi esikhunjeni), i-gearbox enamagiya amane, ama-clutch aseceleni anamabhande amabhuleki (izindlela zokuzungeza) kanye nokushayela kokugcina okuyizigaba ezimbili. ezimotweni ezinobubanzi bethrekhi (amamitha angu-1,41). Isibungu esinyakazayo (njengoba sisetshenziswa ohlangothini ngalunye) sasihlanganisa ithrekhi yesibungu enosayizi omkhulu enegiya lelambu. Ukusekela okuyisishiyagalolunye namarola ayisikhombisa asekelayo esondo le-idler ane-screw mechanism yokuqinisa isibungu, isondo lokushayela lendawo engemuva. Ama-roller asekelayo (ngaphandle kweyangemuva) aphuma nge-helical coil spring. Ukumiswa kwebhalansi. Njengezinto ezinwebekayo, kusetshenziswe iziphethu zamaqabunga e-semi-eliptic ezimbozwe ngamapuleti ezikhali. Ukwandisa ikhono lokuwela izwe lapho unqoba imisele nezikhafu, ubakaki okhishwayo (“umsila”) wafakwa engxenyeni yawo engemuva. Imoto yawela umsele onobubanzi obungu-1,8 m kanye nendawo engu-0,6 m ukuphakama, yayikwazi ukuwela izithiyo zamanzi kuze kufike ku-0,7 m ukujula, futhi yawisa izihlahla zaba ugqinsi oluwu-0,2-0,25 m, ngaphandle kokugwedla emithambekeni efinyelela kuma-degree angu-38, futhi iphinde ikhuphuke. ku-28 degrees. Izinto zikagesi zingocingo olulodwa, i-voltage yenethiwekhi esebhodini ingu-6V. Isistimu yokuthungela isuka ku-magneto. Injini iqalwa kusukela endaweni yokulwa kusetshenziswa isibambo esikhethekile kanye ne-chain drive noma ngaphandle kusetshenziswa isibambo sokuqala. . Ngokuya ngezici zayo zokusebenza, ithangi le-T-18 lalingekho ngaphansi kwe-prototype, futhi lalidlula ngesivinini esiphezulu kanye nezikhali zophahla. Kamuva, amathangi anjalo angu-14 enziwe, amanye awo athola amagama: "I-Paris Commune", "Proletariat", "Storm", "Victory", "Red Fighter", "Ilya Muromets". Amathangi okuqala aseSoviet abamba iqhaza ezimpini zempi yombango. Ekugcineni, ukukhiqizwa kwezimoto kwanqanyulwa ngenxa yezinkinga zezomnotho nezobuchwepheshe. Bheka futhi: “Ithangi elikhanyayo T-80” Ngemuva kokuthuthukiswa okujulile ngo-1938, yathola inkomba ye-T-18m. Izici zokusebenza Ukulwa nesisindo I-5,8 T Ubukhulu:   isikhathi 3520 mm ububanzi 1720 mm ukuphakama 2080 mm Abadlali Umuntu we-2 Impi 1x37mm Hotchkiss inganono 1x18 mm isibhamu somshini ku-T-18M eyenziwe yesimanje 1x45-mm inganono, isampula 1932 1x7,62 mm isibhamu somshini Izinhlamvu Imizuliswano eyi-112, imizuliswano eyi-1449, imizuliswano engama-18 ye-T-250 Ukubhuka:   ingquza ebunzini 16 mm umbhoshongo ebunzini 16 mm uhlobo lwenjini I-carburetor GLZ-M1 Amandla aphezulu T-18 34 hp, T-18m 50 hp Максимальная скорость T-18 8,5 km/h, T-18m 24 km/h Ukugcina amandla 120 km Imithombo: "I-Reno-Russian Tank" (ed. 1923), M.
