Soviet BT series updated

The Soviet Union, due to its wide spaces needed a tank that could go long distances. The Soviets adopted the Christie design for their BT series. I've made quite a few updates to the BT series.

Soviet Union's BT series updated

I'm starting to make my way through the BT series of tanks that were used by the Soviet Union before and during the early years of World War II.

Soviet Union's BT-7 Bystrochodnij Tankov (Fast Tank) updated

If the Soviet military hadn't been decimated by Stalin's purges, and given enough training in better tactics, the Soviets, using such tanks as the BT-7 might have made a better showing against the invading Germans. They might have not stopped them, but maybe slowed them down more? Of course one will never know.

Soviet Union's BT-5 Bystrochodnij Tankov (Fast Tank) photo added

The Soviet Union seemed to have realized the potential for armored tanks much earlier than many of the countries of the world in the early 20th century. They were quite advanced on their designs and just sheer numbers of tanks produced. One of those early designs was the BT-5 Fast Tank which was produced in large numbers. Despite the vast quantities of tanks that the Soviets had, numbers didn't make up for training.
