Skoda tank. I asked myself, "It looks like Christie suspension. USSR bought model, Did Czechs rip it off?
Answer Tank Encyclopedia:
".. The main concern was to avoid any issues of the previous model, starting with the suspension. The new model featured four large road wheels, resembling the Christie suspension, but in fact it was conventional leaf-spring one. This gave some mobility even if the tracks were ruptured and an overall simplified, reliable and easy to maintain system
