Carro Medio Rápido BT-5The Soviet BT-5 tank was a welcome addition to the Republican arsenal, though the first tanks to arrive were often allotted to exclusively Soviet or mixed Russo-Spanish crews while the T-25 B’s were given over to the Spaniards. Its roomy interior, quick speed, and dual tracked/wheeled propulsion system were welcomed by its crews and made it more popular than the T-25 B. However, like its predecessor, the BT-5 was often utilized in poorly planned attacks, resulting in a high attrition. Almost all the first BT-5’s were lost at Fuentes del Ebro and later replacements were later squandered just as recklessly at Teruel. Like the T-25, the BT-5’s supplied to the Spanish were probably equipped with radios though the Spanish crews seemed to have removed these, preferring signal flags. A few BT-5’s were captured by the Nationalists and were used by them in formations with captured T-25 B’s. The BT-5 had 3 crewmen. The Spanish designation for this tank was Carro Medio Rápido BT-5.
