Galerie photo sur un char rapide BT-7, Conçus au début des années trente, les chars rapides BT igral pomembno vlogo pri razvoju sovjetskih oklepnih sil. To so bili prvi modeli rezervoarjev, ki so bili na voljo v velikem številu, kar je omogočilo razvoj mehaniziranih doktrin. Čeprav so bile te doktrine diskreditirane in pozabljene tik pred začetkom nemške invazije, so utrle pot kasnejšim doktrinam, ki so uporabljale potomca BT, T-34.

Key Characteristic: Convertible Drive
The BT-7 used the Christie Suspension which allowed the crew to remove the tracks and drive the tank directly on its large road wheels when traveling on roads. This capability was designed to reduce wear on the tracks and achieve extremely high speeds.
Note on Vulnerability The tank’s light armor and use of a gasoline engine made it highly vulnerable to enemy fire, a factor that contributed to significant losses early in World War II.
