History:
Introduced in 1915, the Garford Putilov combined the ruggedness of an American truck chassis with Russian armour design expertise. Weighing over 8 tons, it was heavily armed for its time and capable of delivering powerful fire support on the battlefield. While its weight limited mobility, it was highly valued for static defence, urban operations, and long-range firepower. It saw extensive service on the Eastern Front and in the Russian Civil War, becoming a symbol of early 20th-century armoured warfare.
