 T-34 - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
In 1937, engineer Mikhail Koshkin was assigned by the Red Army to lead a new team to design a replacement for the BT tanks, at the Kharkov Komintern Locomotive Plant (KhPZ) in Kharkov.
The prototype tank, designated A-20, was specified with 20 mm of armour and a 45mm gun.
Koshkin convinced Stalin to let him develop a second prototype, a more heavily armed and armoured "universal tank" which could replace both the T-26 and the BT tanks.

 EPA: Federal Register: Labeling Requirements for Alternative Fuels and Alternative Fueled Vehicles
Alternatively, Ford requested that the AFV label be amended to require disclosure of only the EPA Tier 2 emission standard, if any, to which the AFV has been certified, and permit disclosure on the same label of the California LEV II emission standard, if any, to which the AFV has been certified.
The Alliance indicated that, although some AFVs are certified to lower emissions standards than their gasoline equivalents, a comparison of the emissions certification for both types of vehicles is difficult without access to emissions information for both types of vehicles.
Figures 5 and 5.1 of appendix A represent the prototype of the labels for dual-fueled vehicles; Figure 5 of appendix A represents the prototype for vehicles with one fuel tank and Figure 5.1 of appendix A represents the prototype for vehicles with two fuel tanks.

 Scoring a Hat Trick with Alternative Fuels
The Honda Accord ULEV prototype is the first vehicle with a production-based gasoline engine to be tested and verified by the California Air Resources Board as meeting ultra low emissions vehicle (ULEV) exhaust levels.
Noting that it is easier for fleets, with their centralized maintenance facilities, to adapt readily to the new technology, DOE also is on record supporting alternative fuels in fleets to speed the transition to cleaner air.
Developers ask, "Where is the consumer to get fuel for these cars of the future?" Supporters of AFVs note that there was little delay changing from barns and oats to an infrastructure of gas stations and oil when the car came on the scene.

Prototypes of the KPV were being tested by 1944; there was also a Degtyarev design in the same 14.5mm calibre.
Only a few prototypes of these machineguns designed by Aimo Lahti were manufactured and only one of them took part to the war (L-35/36 machinegun used as main weapon on the Landsverk armoured car).
Various HMG prototypes were made for anti-tank and AA use with designations L34, L34, L35/6, L37 and L39, with the AT rifles being L38 and probably L39 (a version of the later 20mm gun).

Although, like those of the Tornado, the first flights of the Typhoon prototype indicated a promising fighter, the machine proving relatively easy to fly at high speeds, its low speed qualities left much to be desired, and it had a marked tendency to swing to starboard during take-off.
Alternative installations of the Sabre engine were designed for these prototypes; the first (HM595) had a Sabre II and a front radiator similar to that of the standard Typhoon, while the second (HM599) had a Sabre IV engine and wing leading-edge radiators.
Piloted by Philip Lucas, the first prototype Tempest was flown on September 2, 1942, but prior to this, in February 1942, a production order had been placed and the first production machine flew in June 1943 with Bill Humble at the controls.

 Tank
A modern main battle tank (MBT) is distinguished from other AFVs primarily by its heavy armour and armament.
The first prototype tank was tested for the British Army for the first time on September 6, 1915, see Tank history.
The term 'tank' was a codeword coined by the British and used to confuse the enemy and maintain secrecy while they were being built and shipped to the front such that any documentation describing a shipment of tanks would be interpreted as a shipment of containers such as storage tanks.

The history of AFVs is such that they are kept in service for 25 or more years and subject to continuous upgrades to meet new threats and mission requirements.
This reliance on COTS will put the AFV encompassing them at odds with the world for which they were produced, modern consumer products are very reliable and cost effective but rarely designed for or supported over periods of more than a few years.
Because developing a prototype vehicle is prohibitively expensive, the Army has relied increasingly on simulation to verify designs before committing them to a physical prototype.

A few combat car prototypes were also constructed along these lines, since Christie's dream of high-speed tanks was more suited to the Cavalry's mobile mission, however none of these vehicles was standardized.
The collapse of the USSR and the anticipated threat of low-intensity conflicts that require lethal forces to arrive at the scene quickly have spurred a trend away from the heavy main battle tanks of the Cold War to lighter, more deployable, and technologically sophisticated vehicles for the future.
One hopes, however, that the powers that be in the US military remember that high-tech weapons are not the crux of an army, and that without highly trained and motivated soldiers acting in accordance with innovative and sound doctrines, even the most technologically sophisticated fighting vehicles are no more than white war elephants.

 Romanian Armour in World War Two
Realistically valuable AFV strength for the Royal Romanian Army stood at perhaps two hundred and fifty when the disastrous Battle of Stalingrad in November 1942 inflicted horrendous losses upon Romanian forces, reducing operational tank strength in the field to a few dozen.
Indeed, while thirty-two BT-7's appear on an Army inventory list for November 1942, it's possible these represented "carcasses on hand" rather than operational vehicles, for shortly afterwards they had been broken up to provide much-needed quality armour plating for the TACAM series of self-propelled guns; certainly no BT-7's were reported in Romanian service by 1944.
The first prototype was assembled that summer, undergoing extensive trials beginning in September and lasting until the end of the year.
