BT-5 Vehicle History

The BT-5 was one of the main Soviet fast tanks, produced from 1933 to 1934. It was famous for its distinctive Christie suspension, which allowed for high speed both on tracks and, after removing them, on wheels. BT-5 tanks participated in numerous conflicts, including the Spanish Civil War, the Soviet-Finnish War (the so-called Winter War 1939–1940), and in the initial battles of World War II during the German invasion of the Soviet Union. This model belonged to the light tank category and was an important stage in the development of Soviet armored weapons.
