Development history
Porokhovshchikov's 'all-terrain' machine ran on a single wide rubberised track under the hull, steered by wheels at the sides, and was trialled near Petrograd in 1915. It moved well on firm ground but struggled in soft going, and the military authorities declined to fund production. It is remembered as an early Russian tracked vehicle and is recorded here as a trials prototype.
