WHIPPET TANK

-

Seen here from the rear, the Whippet was a fast, 13-kilometre per hour (eight-mile per hour) tank armed with four Hotchkiss machine guns in its fixed turret. 17 were sent to Russia. They were used to pursue broken troops and exploit breakthrou­ghs by other tanks. Denikin insisted that only officers could crew the tanks that had been provided.
