Short historical overview:
The D-38 tank was an experimental light reconnaissance tank, derived from early Soviet design work aimed at increasing infantry mobility and protection. The D-38 was an evolution of the D-series, produced in the early 1930s, and was intended as a response to the need for more modern armored vehicles. Despite its contemporary technical solutions, the project never entered widespread service and remains mostly a curiosity for armored vehicle enthusiasts.
