The BT-45 was a Balambian assault gun. It was constructed from captured Republican BT-7s and Lucian 4.5-inch howitzer, which had been given by Great Lucis to Francoist Esthar and Balamb during the Estharian Civil War. A total of 1,550 units were contructed. All of the tanks were mostly used by Balambian units.
