T-28 Medium Tank
Various models were built of this "Exploitation" tank, which resembled the British A1E1 Independent externally, but had only two additional machine gun turrets instead of four. The T-28 weighed about 27.5 tons. Later models mounted the more powerful 76.2mm howitzer in place of the prototype's 45mm gun. The tank was used in the Russo-Finnish war.

T35 Heavy Tank
In 1932 a requirement arise for a heavy tank to deal with enemy infantry and anti-tank weapons and during the next seven years various models of the T-35 Heavy Tank were produced. Weighing some 45 tons, it was well armed with a 76.2 mm howitzer in the main turret, plus four subsidiary turrets, of which, the off-side front and nearside rear mounted a 45mm gun each, and the other two, a machine gun each.

Following the loss of the T-100 to the KV, one of the prototypes was rebuilt as a bunker buster. Called the SU-130Y, with a fixed superstructure and a B-13 130mm naval gun. No production of the type was authorized, but the prototype took part in the defence of Moscow in 1941.

SMK and T-100 Sotka Heavy Tanks
Named after the Soviet political leader Sergei Mironovich KIROV, who assassinated in 1934, this tank was a complete departure from normal Soviet design. The hull had eight suspension wheels on either side, with torsion bar springing and four return rollers. There was an upper and lower turret, with a 76.2mm gun in the top turret and a 45mm in the lower. It had a crew of seven, weighed 45 tons and had a armour up to 60mm thick. It closely resembled the T-100 heavy tank which appeared in 1938, a year after the SMK and weighed 11 tons more. Both were used in the Russo-Finnish war.
