The OT-134 was the fourth and final entry in a series of flame throwers based on the T-26 light tank, and was the first to carry any other armament. During 1940 the Kompressor Factory in Moscow developed a new flamethrower that was small enough to be mounted in the tank hull instead in the turret. This was mounted in the hull of the T-26S to produce the OT-134. The 45mm gun was retained in a turret which resembled that of the T-50. A small number of OT-134s were produced in 1941, in time to take part in the disasters that overwhelmed the Red Army after the German invasion.
