Russian Light Tanks 1914 to 1945 - Российские танки

[@Juke-Fox]

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.

[@Lobblobb]

Christie?, he was american though

[@techmaniac43]

Very good choice of music equally with the content of the video as always, I loved the video.

[@maxdelater3369]

T-60 definitely had a 20mm autocannon, not a 45mm cannon.

[@CZ350tuner]

20mm. L.107 TnSH auto cannon to be exact.

[@OGBootleg]

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.

[@SashaTheDog]

+jmantime T-18 is just to cute!

[@jotjotpoland2696]

+jmantime I find it very pleasent you set the Anthem of the EU as the background music for Soviet tanks... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@ultranomad9351]

the BTSV seems like a beginning to the BTR series.

[@joejones6963]

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

[@joejones6963]

The btr series benefits from the armour style on the btsv so that's why it has it

[@ultranomad9351]

The Lego legend yea now look at the BMP,BTR,BMD series. Remind you of any old design?

[@SkyTHF]

0:08 we finally see the ninja type tank

[@CZ350tuner]

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.

[@isenbull2242]

Soviet and British tanks were worse than German tanks.

[@Alfa011]

I admire your work on present and past military armament.

[@CNMikado]

I love the BT series of tanks

[@tasman006]

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.

[@joejones6963]

tasman006 well the t26 is just a copy of a rejected British design

[@codyfrench7668]

I thought I'd seen it before. still good, many thanks

[@herrfriedrich6563]

+Cody French many tanks such wow

[@annaphilip7514]

The bt7 had a 22mm gun not a 45mm gun

[@OGBootleg]

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"

[@354sd]

very interesting thanks

[@peoplesrepublicofliberland5606]

Bt7 fast and stronk

[@homiespaghetti1522]

No... I did not just see a tank that went 105 mph

[@jimwind7589]

How did it not throw a track.

[@annaphilip7514]

WTF IS THE BT7A IT LOOKS SO WIRED

[@rickgrimes_69420]

Anna Philip its the BT-7 Art.

[@DeepSeaOctopus]

8:00

[@triumphant39]

The bt tanks are apparently more capable than I thought they were. Quite impressive

[@ПолковникЗайцын]

+triumphant39 BT tanks could drive without tracks (wheels had tires and front ones could turn) and could reach up to 110 km/h on good roads, very remarcable machines.

[@MrDragonPig]

Shouldn't this be Russian light tanks because the Soviet Union didn't exist until 1918?

[@alvarohernani6645]

Mr. DragonPig th USSR was created in 1923 after the Russian civil war.
