History:
Introduced during WWI, the Garford Putilov combined mobility, armour, and heavy firepower, making it one of the most powerful armoured cars of its era. Equipped with a 76.2mm gun and multiple machine guns, it saw extensive action on the Eastern Front. After the Russian Revolution, surviving vehicles were captured or sold to neighbouring nations, serving in conflicts such as the Polish–Soviet War, Latvian War of Independence, and Ukrainian campaigns. These machines reflected the shifting allegiances and turbulent military history of Eastern Europe in the early 20th century.
