History and Use

The BT-5 was one of the most innovative Soviet light tanks, remembered in military history as a fast support vehicle. It was used mainly by the Red Army between 1933 and 1945, that is, during the interwar period and World War II. BT-5 tanks were deployed during the Spanish Civil War, in battles with Japan at Khalkhin Gol, and in the early stages of the Eastern Front during Operation Barbarossa. Its defining feature was the ability to move on both tracks and wheels, which allowed for rapid movement on paved roads.
