Historical information and usage

The T-28 tank was first introduced to the Red Army at the end of the 1920s and was produced from 1933 to 1941. Designed as a fast medium tank, it featured an unusual for this class solution with three turrets: the main turret armed with a 76 mm cannon, and two smaller ones equipped with machine guns. The T-28 was used during the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, the Winter War with Finland (1939-1940), and the early phase of the German invasion of the USSR. It served as a technological transition between World War I designs and more modern tanks of World War II.
