| Notes | The BT-7 had the same Christy style suspension as the BT-5 and was also a convertible vehicle with the ability to run with or without tracks. It had a three man crew and was armed a 45mm gun. Although the BT-7 was slightly better armoured then the BT-5, they were easily knocked out by German tank and anti-tank guns and many were lost in 1941. |
