- In 1928, the Soviet Union dispatched a military commission with the aim of finding an adequate and advanced foreign tank design. While visiting the USA, they came across the automotive designer J. W. Christie, who presented them with his own tank design. The Soviets were impressed, leading to the acquisition of two vehicles, followed up by a license for production of that design in the Soviet Union. The vehicle which was built in the Soviet Union was known as the BT-2 and, while not perfect, it would be built in relatively large numbers and serve as the basis for future more successful developments.

Tanks like these deserve the name iron cavalry more than anyother
The factory at 16:13 is the Kharkov Tractor Plant (KhTZ) and not the KhPZ. That's called the Malyshev Factory nowadays, located a few kilometers to the northeast.
What tank was perfect? I get a little tired of folks always having to be apologetic about a tank. Wasn't bad at all for the 1930's design.
The BT-2? It wasn't great, then comsider poor usage and tactics and that it was used in the 40s and yes, thats why it has a bad rep
The Bob semple tank was perfect
@@ronaldharris6569 if you can build it in a shack that has a tractor inside and have 2000 shacks, you already have 2000 bob semples!
@@ronaldharris6569 well there goes my comment! Slow clap
:D
along with "how good was the t-34?" and similar. even the best design will suck in bad circumstance and the worst can be actually quite fierce if used proficiently. the early t-34's are a classic example of this phalacy of TANK IS GOOD OR BAD, until the T-34-85 the T-34 was in constant development essentially in various limited production runs made sing whatever resources where on hand.
Pleasure doing voiceover for this one!
nice
This channel needs a lot more attention! Quality content, pleasant narration, detailed, but not overly complicated. 👌
This is really well researched. I really enjoyed the deep dive. I still need to finish building my auto-cross BT7. For drifting. Cuz it can.
If only they had the foresight to mount some kind of auto cannon on the BT chassis. A BT-7 with a Sh-37 would have been a legendary LRV much like the greyhound
Literally Pz II but _fast_
Amazing video, well researched!
Outstanding.
BT looks like a pretty good design. I like the well sloped frontal plates. Good design for the day. A 1:1 scale model built of aluminum, with a modernish car engine would be kool. I'd dispense with the steerable front wheels tho.
Very Easy to build Also with today welding machines, if i dont worked already all day on Cars i Will love to build One with scrap automotive parts and a big engine, any big turbodiesel like a V6 2.5 TDI would be enough if the hull Is made in alluminium
In war thunder the bt 5 and bt 7 are race car, i go at full throttle and I’m able to 1 or 2 controled drift
Will you do something on baltic states armored units?It would be nice to learn more about my, and neigboring countries tanks and armored cars.

How Much speed should we put in this tank
Russia: Y E S
Soviets who just came up with deep battle when seeing the christie: This is someserious gourmmet shit!
British Liberty tank engines were notorious for shaking themselves loose, to the point where could start to fall apart. Did the Soviets experience this issue?
Information is limited, but they did not build their reputation on reliability.
I'm going to get te hobbyboss 1/35 model of thi b.c tank in the future.
i love dis tank in wotb
So, is this the BT tank series that the Soviets planned to storm through Eastern Europe with in the summer of 1941?
A shame these were made for modern roads and not dirt roads, like most of of Russia...
Not sure what you’re saying. Why would the soviets have attacked anyone in 1941?
The Soviets were utterly incapable of attacking anyone in 1941. They had some modern tanks and aircraft but NO ammunition and limited fuel. As a result the only way the Russians could take on German forces was by literally running over them.
@@allangibson2408 "The Soviets had NO ammunition."
- an internet guy called Allan Gibson, 2021.
@@mauriciomorais7818 It is well documented that the Russians had less than a quarter of the required ammunition to provide a standard load out for their T34 tanks. The Russian soldiers in Stalingrad were getting a quarter of the supplies per man compared to the Germans they were opposing. TIK has done a significant set of historical studies on the subject on RUclips - look it up. Russia was utterly unprepared for war with Germany in 1941 and early 1942. The counter argument was a Nazi WW2 lie (like the Polish “provocations”).
@@allangibson2408 Ok NO ammo guy 👌 Germany had it easy and botched it. Netflix is that way 👉
Fast boi
RED UN'S GO FASTA. some ork speed freak.
when you want an armoured tachanka
1:14 What?
Primary enemy. Slip of the tongue.
It's not eKsetera, but rather it is eTsetera, phonetically. Spelled correctly, etcetera and is pronounced with a soft "C".
How could anyone involved in WWI still think Cavalry was an important factor in the 1920s?
Experience in WWI showed that tanks could make a breakthrough but they couldn't move fast enough to exploit it. IIRC Plan 1919 called for the building of faster cavalry-type tanks. All the major countries were building them in the 1920s and Russia was trying to keep pace. And since Russia didn't do very well in WWI it's probable that they were looking very closely at those countries which had more success. Maybe I don't know the whole story but that's the best I can do to answer your question.
cavalry was mostly mounted infantry by this point, think of it like motorised infantry but more reliable, easier to supply and more mobile in rough terrain, with the negatives of requiring a large stock of horses and being slower when roads are available.
it isn't untill the 30s and 40s that trucks become reliable enough to truly allow proper motorization, and even then few nations had the industry to fully replace cavalry even if they wanted to (the supply and terrain mobility of cavalry meant many modern militaries continued to have permament cavalry units well into the cold war [and many special forces units are still given horse rideing training for mountain operations])
furthermore cavalry proved very effective after the various breakthroughs and on the eastern front in ww1, and in the russian civil war, hell cavalry wagons (Tachanka) became very important in the russian civil war to the point they got their own patriotic song by the same name and apaired on soviet paper money.
in reality only a fool would ignore the importance of cavalry in the 1920s
Warfare on the Eastern Front and later in the Russian Civil War and Russo-Polish Wars was far more mobile than the static trench warfare of the Western Front. Among the major powers in 1939, only Britain and France had enough trucks to have fully mechanized armies. Even having sufficient transport, the French chose to field both horse-mounted and bicycle mounted-troops.
Cavalry was a Status unit (note capital 'S') usually commanded by 'People of Distinction and Note' and manned by their sons and commoners of 'good, respected' (usually wealthy) families.
They were regarded as 'Elite' units (units of people from among the elites of society), but not how we today regard units as elite (Supreme competence in their trade)
I know this video is of the _Soviet_ army, but old habits and the perceived prestige of the Cavalry die hard.
ooooh early
Yea! lol
