History and use of the Ba-20

The Ba-20 is a light armored car developed in the USSR in the second half of the 1930s. The vehicle was widely used mainly by the Red Army from the pre-World War II period and then during the conflict itself – both on the Eastern Front and during the Winter War with Finland. The Ba-20 was employed as a reconnaissance vehicle, for communications, and in support of cavalry and infantry units. The late version, depicted in this model, featured an improved cylindrical turret, which enhanced combat effectiveness and crew comfort.
