Historical Overview

The T-28 was one of the world's first medium tanks, developed by Soviet design bureaus. The prototype was completed in 1931, and serial production started as early as 1932. As infantry support, the T-28 was designed to break through fortification lines—its design was ahead of its time, offering three turrets and a dynamic silhouette. These tanks took part in the Winter War against Finland (1939-1940) and early in World War II, mainly during the defense of the Soviet Union against the German invasion in 1941. The T-28E was a variant fitted with additional armor protection, increasing the vehicle's survivability on the battlefield.
