T-28 light tank (Finnish)

Description

The T-28 was an infantry support tank developed by the Soviet’s during the 1930s. A long tank, featuring multiple turrets, it appears to be strongly influenced by the British A1E1 Independent (and indeed may have been based on stolen plans……). Primary armament was a 76mm gun in a fully traversing main turret, and four machine guns split between the main turret and a pair of secondary turrets. 

Initially deployed in 1939 during the Winter War, the T-28 was shown to be slow, heavy and inadequately armoured. However, improvements were rapidly made and a new, up-armoured version led the way through the Finnish Mannerheim Line.

Over 500 were built and captured examples used by Finland were used against their former owners.
