In 1929, the Soviet government adopted a resolution "On the State of Defense of the Country." It was planned to equip the troops with new equipment in the shortest possible time. Along with other types of weapons, armored vehicles for various purposes were needed, primarily tanks. During the 1930s, the T-27 tankette, T-26 and BT light tanks, the medium three-turret T-28, and the heavy five-turret T-35 were accepted into service. Amphibious tanks appeared - the T-37 and T-38. Other research was also carried out in the field of armored weapons - among other things, they even tried to teach tanks to fly. The first serious test for Soviet tanks was the war in Spain, and then the war with Finland.
