In March 1938, a Soviet BT-5 light tank found itself outnumbered by a group of German T-1s. Not just the first, but also the second tank ram in history belongs to the Soviet Union, and again in Spain. On November 3, both his legs were torn off by a shell, and ten days later he died in the hospital from gangrene. Osadchy himself didn’t have long to celebrate his feat.
Soviet tank BT-5 supplied to the Spanish Republic Army.
