The BT-7 was the last of the BT series of Soviet cavalry tanks that were produced in large numbers between 1935 and 1940 (BT relating to Bystrokhodny tank - fast/high speed tank). They were lightly armoured, but reasonably well-armed for their time, and had much better mobility than other contemporary tank designs, based as they were on the American-designed Christie suspension and thus achieved i…

Description What do you do when you are told to upgrade an already giant metal monster that took a whole new generation of tank to actually deal with? You make it bigger and make it louder. The IS-2 is that very same beast, made as a competent replacement for the KV series and it was a far better designed machine than its predecessor. It had thick frontal armour and a huge 122mm gun, despite its s…

They were used in mass assaults hurling themselves into the German lines fully prepared to fight in close quarters…

Like most countries in WW2 the Russians fielded masses of mortars and artillery, the “Gods of War” as Stalin put it. The most common was the 82mm mortar, used throughout the war. It equipped all manner of Soviet formations, its great rate of fire and simplicity being of great use in repelling the horde. It is served by 3 crewmen.

The Soviets were visionaries in the development of airborne troops and tactics, first forming a brigade-sized airborne unit after successful trials in December 1932. More units followed and by June 1941 five Airborne Corps existed in the Soviet order of battle, undoubtedly the strongest airborne force in the world. However in the desperate fighting of the early campaign these formations were press…
