History: The D-38 tank was a Soviet tank produced in the 1930s, known for its innovative design and firepower. Although less known than some of its contemporaries, the D-38 played a role in the evolution of Soviet tank tactics. The BT tanks, of which the D-38 is an example, were a series of Soviet light tanks produced in large numbers between 1932 and 1941. Although lightly armored, they were reasonably well-armed for their time and offered the best mobility of all contemporary tanks. The BT tanks were also nicknamed "Betka" from the acronym or its diminutive "Betushka." Their successor would be the famous T-34 medium tank, introduced in 1940, replacing all Soviet fast tanks, infantry tanks, and medium tanks in service.
