OT-134 was a Soviet tank - a mobile flamethrower from the Second World War. The length of the wagon was 4.6 meters with a hull width of 2.44 meters. The tank was powered by a single GAZ engine with a maximum power of 91 HP. The maximum speed on the road was up to 30 km / h. The OT-134 was the last and fourth variant of the flamethrower tank based on the T-26 vehicle. In the case of the OT-134, the T-26 mod.1939 single-turret tank was used as the basis for its construction. Compared to its predecessors (e.g. the OT-26), it differed in the use of a completely new and relatively small flamethrower, developed in 1940, which could be mounted in the front part of the fuselage. As a result, the OT-134 retained the typical T-26 artillery armament (45mm gun) placed in the new turret, but also received a flamethrower located just in the front of the hull. A relatively small number of these vehicles were produced in 1941 and took part in the initial period of the German-Soviet war.
