T-28

The T-28 is a three—turret Soviet medium tank of the interwar period. It was developed in 1930-1932 by engineers of the tank tractor Design Bureau of the Military Industrial District under the general supervision of S. A. Ginzburg. The T-28 is the first medium tank in the USSR to be put into mass production. In the period from 1933 to 1940, the Leningrad Kirov Plant produced 503 copies of the T-28.

The T-28 was a three-turret medium tank of a classic layout, with cannon-machine gun armament and bulletproof armor, and was intended to support infantry and qualitatively strengthen rifle and tank formations when breaking through fortified enemy positions. At the time of its creation, it was the strongest medium tank in the world.
