6 ARMORED SELF-PROPELLED RAILROAD CAR BD-41

The BD-41 was a Soviet self-propelled Soviet armored draisine from the Second World War. The draisine was designed and built in the period December 1941-January 1942 in Moscow and was most likely used in combat in the area of the capital of the USSR. It uses elements of: civil passenger cars, the T-26 wz. 1931, and a tank engine was used as a drive for the trolley. The armor of the draisine was 8 to 10 mm, and its crew consisted of a maximum of 6 people. The armament consisted mainly of a 37mm cannon and a 7.62mm DT machine gun, which were placed in a rotating turret on the roof of the draisine. It is worth adding that in the period 1942-1944, draisines very similar to the BD-41, but not being its serial units, were created.
