Fun fact - during WWII, one of the USSR's leading light tank designers was a former sportscar designer, who thought it was a brilliant idea to put racecar engines in tanks.

T-60 definitely had a 20mm autocannon, not a 45mm cannon.
@CZ350tuner6 жыл бұрын
20mm. L.107 TnSH auto cannon to be exact.

although later variants of this tank (Captured by the Romanians) did house a 76 mm divisional gun M1936 (F-22) in a light armored superstructure.

the BTSV seems like a beginning to the BTR series.

Ультра танк it was more to test the reliability and combat usefulness of fully sloped armour to add protection to light tanks that's why it's on a Christie style suspension and engine
@joejones69636 жыл бұрын
The btr series benefits from the armour style on the btsv so that's why it has it

The BT-1 designation was given to the original pair of American Christee M.1930 (T-3 in the US Army) sold to the Soviet Union. Due to Christee's enemies and opponents in the US Defence Department deliberately rejecting his tank designs, the US entered WW2 years behind in tank development, especially in suspension. Meanwhile Britain and Russian accepted and developed Christee suspension and designed some very successful and iconic tank designs.

The Russians had a lot of help from foreign designs like Walter Christie with his Christie suspension and the British Carden Loyd tankete from the British to name a few.

Not true, the BT7 had one of two guns, a 45 mm 20K model 1932/38, or a 76,2mm KT-28 "kanon" not a "22mm"
