BA-10

The BA-10 (Russian: Broneavtomobil 10) was an armored car developed in the Soviet Union in 1938 and produced through 1941.

It was intended that the BA-10 would be replaced in 1941 by the BA-11 with diesel engine and more sophisticated armor design, but the outbreak of war prevented BA-11 production.

Significant numbers of captured BA-10s were used by Finland (at least 24, 3 of which were sold to Sweden[1]), Germany and other Axis powers in Europe.

The BA-10 used a slightly smaller, better-sloped armor layout than that of the BA-6, thus improving protection while saving weight.

Like its predecessors, the BA-10 could be converted to a half-track by fitting auxiliary tracks to the rear pair of dual tandem wheels.
