A Russo-Baltic armoured car armed with 3 machine guns, 1 each side and 1 in the front of a fixed turret. The first was built before WW1.
At the beginning of WWI Russia had virtually no motor industry but its one car company, the Russo-Baltic Russko-Baltiisky Vagon Zaved (R-BVZ, or Russo-Baltic Wagon Factory) located in Riga, Latvia, built an armoured car soon after the war started, and subsequently produced a few more so that a unit could be formed that was sent into action in October 1914. https://weaponsandwarfare.com/2017/05/16/early-russian-armoured-cars/
