The Soviet BAD 2 amphibious armored vehicle, which once made the Germans full of praise, how strong

The BAD-2 amphibious armored vehicle is the world's first amphibious combat vehicleAnd the use of advanced full-body welding technology at that time, with both wheel and footIt was a rare vehicle that was extremely adaptable to the terrain at that time, so the Germans would praise it.

In the early 30s of the 20th century, at the International Military Parade on Labor Day in Leningrad,Several extremely strange combat vehicles appeared, which differed from tanks, as well as armored vehiclesIt's more like an armed ironclad boat walking on land. These combat vehicles are the world's first generation amphibious combat vehicle BAD-2.

He was born in the early 30sThe whole body uses an extremely advanced all-welded construction. The body is ship-shaped, with a rounded bow and two turrets, front and rear. **Armament consists of a 37 mm gun and two machine guns, scattered between the front and rear turrets.

Compared with the tanks at that time, the firepower was not too much. At that time, it was the honeymoon period of cooperation between the Soviet Union and Germany, and the German side spoke highly of this tank.

But in fact, the birth of this chariot also had many ups and downsAfter nearly 20 years of accumulation, it was successfully developed. During World War I, tanks made a stunning appearance at the Battle of the Somme. But after the baptism of war,The Soviets soon discovered that tanks had great limitations when confronted with dense water nets and muddy terrain.

Moreover, in the USSR, roads and bridges of insufficient strength more or less limited the mobility of tanks and armored vehicles. 、

From this point of view, the development of an amphibious combat vehicle is of great strategic significance. In the early 20s of the 20th century, Soviet engineers successfully designed and built an amphibious combat vehicle, but unfortunately, it was not put into production because it did not meet the requirements for use. By the mid-20s, the economy of Soviet Russia had improved, and it began to build its own armored factories and develop plans for the development of mass-produced tanks.

In the early 30s, the Soviet Army developed and finalized the light tank T26, and on this basis, combined with the experience of previous amphibious combat vehicle research and development, successfully developed, designed and manufactured the extremely advanced amphibious armored vehicle BAD-2 at that time.

The successful development and manufacture of BAD-2 provided great reference value for the research and development of amphibious combat vehicles in the world in the future. And the dual-use method used in vehicles at that time is still used today, which can be said to have a far-reaching influence. As the first generation of amphibious combat vehicles, although it seems to be outdated now, it has accumulated extremely important experience for future generations and pointed out the direction of development.

The BAD-2 amphibious armored vehicle is particularly adaptable, can go to many terrains, and has strong defensive and offensive capabilities.

This armored vehicle is very adaptable and can be used in a lot of environments.

Its sophistication lies in the fact that its whole body is fully equipped with welding technology and is flexible in combat.

Its design is still relatively perfect, and the functions are relatively complete.
