T-18 light tank ,(also called MS-1 Russian: Maliy Soprovozhdeniya-Perviy, means “First Small Support”) was the first Soviet-designed tank. Produced from 192831, it was based on the Renault FT, with the addition of a vertically sprung suspension.
The T-18 and its derivatives were essentially unsuccessful designs, but they gave Soviet industry its first experiences in designing armoured vehicles, and in the meantime a number of foreign tank designs were available for production.
