The T-28 was deployed during the Soviet invasion of Poland, and the Winter War with Finland. During the initial stages of the Winter War, the tank was used in direct fire missions against Finnish pillboxes.
In the course of these operations, it was found that the armour was
inadequate and an upgrade was initiated. The frontal armour plates were
upgraded from 30 mm to 80 mm and side and rear plates to 40 mm
thickness. With this up-armoured version, the Red Army broke through the
main Finnish defensive fortification, the Mannerheim Line.
