The BT-2 was the first in a series of fast Soviet tanks designed in the early 1930s. They were used by the Red Army mainly in the interwar period and in the early phase of World War II, especially during the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939 and during the first battles with German units in 1941. It was renowned for its remarkable mobility – its unique design allowed it to run both on tracks and on wheels.
