BT-7A Light Artillery Tank

The BT tanks were lightly armoured but produced in large numbers to provide support for the infantry - over 5,000 BT-7 were produced. Weighing in at only 13.9 tons the BT-7 was a fast tank with a max speed of 53kph. BT-7s were up-armed with a 45mm cannon replacing the earlier 37mm gun. The BT-7A (Artillery) was fitted with a 76.2mm KT-28 gun. A total of 155 BT-7A were produced and supplied to artillery battalions to provide support to tank units. BT-7A remained in service until 1942.
