BA-10 - Bilder og videoer

Den BA-10 (russisk: Broneavtomobil 10) var en pansret bil utviklet i Sovjetunionen i 1938 og produsert gjennom 1941. Det var den mest produserte sovjetiske pre-1941 tunge pansrede bilen - 3311 ble bygget i tre versjoner. Disse versjonene var BA-10, BA-10M (forbedret versjon med ny radio) og BA-10ZhD (utstyrt for dobbel jernbane / veibruk). Den grunnleggende BA-10-designen ble utviklet fra BA-3 og BA-6 tunge pansrede biler. Den hadde et forbedret GAZ-AAA-chassis og forbedret rustning (opptil 15 mm foran og tårn). Det var ment at BA-10 ville bli erstattet i 1941 av BA-11 med dieselmotor og mer sofistikert rustningsdesign, men krigsutbruddet forhindret BA-11-produksjonen. BA-10 var i tjeneste i Den røde armé frem til 1945. Et betydelig antall erobrede BA-10 ble brukt av Finland (minst 24), Tyskland og andre aksemakter i Europa.

The BA-10 (Broneavtomobil 10) was a Soviet armored car that was developed in 1938 and produced until 1941. It was the most produced heavy armored car of the Soviet Union before World War II, with more than 3000 units built in three variants. The BA-10 had a sloped armor design that improved its protection and reduced its weight. It was armed with a 45 mm gun and two machine guns, and could reach a speed of 53 km/h on roads. The BA-10 also had auxiliary tracks that could be fitted to the rear wheels for better traction on snow or soft ground. The BA-10 saw action in various conflicts, such as the Battle of Khalkhin Gol against Japan, the Soviet invasion of Poland, the Winter War against Finland, and the Eastern Front against Germany. Some BA-10s were captured and used by Finland, Germany, and other Axis powers. The BA-10 was gradually replaced by light tanks in the scouting role during World War II.
