The BT-42 was a Finnish assault gun developed during the Continuation War by modifying captured Soviet BT-7 tanks and equipping them with British 4.5-inch howitzers. A total of 18 units were built and used mainly in 1943 and 1944. The BT-42 was intended to provide more firepower but proved ineffective against modern Soviet tanks like the T-34. Its high profile and added weight caused mechanical issues, and it's armament was unsuitable for anti-tank warfare. Despite these flaws, the BT-42 saw action in key battles, including the defense of Viipuri in 1944. Today, one surviving BT-42 is displayed at the Parola Tank Museum in Finland.
