The GAZ-60 was a half-track produced at the Gorki plant from 1938 to 1940, based on components from the T-26 tank, and the bodyshell from the GAZ-AA trucks. The construction from the truck, was likely reverse engineered from the Citroën Kégresse halftracks. In 1939, around 700 were produced (mostly for use by the Red Army) and a further 200 in 1940. Some of these vehicles saw service in the Russian-Finnish Winter War, but were seen to be mostly underpowered for it's time, and the track suspension was not assembled very well, causing it to break down, when faced with hard terrain. The same problems appeared with the competing ZIS-42 vehicle, that started getting produced 2 years later.
