The BT Series was based on 2 Christie tanks purchased from the USA in 1931. These were designated as the BT1 with the first series production of the new Fast Tank being ready in 1932 as the BT2 armed with a 37mm gun. Further development produced the BT3 and BT4 and in 1933 the BT5 was developed incorporating numerous changes but most importantly with a new 45mm gun in an elarged turret. In 1937, further improvements led to a new conical shaped turret with sloping armour and twin-horn periscopes being fitted and redesignated as the BT7 (Model 1937) aka BT7-2. Two years later in 1939, further modifications were made to the Model 1937 turret, these included different hatches, a rear mounted 7.62 MG, twin spot lamps and a roof mounted AA MG. This resulted in the production model known as the BT8. They participated in the Soviet-German partition of Poland in 1939 and later saw action in the Winter War of 1940 against Finland and finally in the early years of the Great Patriotic War.
