Historical Background

The Soviet MBV-2 (Bronepoezd MBV-2) is one of the most famous military constructions of the Soviet Union from the interwar period and the early years of World War II. This heavy armored train was developed in the 1930s as the Red Army's response to the need for increased mobility and firepower along railway lines. The version equipped with the turret featuring the KT-28 76.2 mm gun provided enormous fire support for ground units during military campaigns—among others, it was used in the Winter War of 1939–1940 and in the first years of the Great Patriotic War against Germany.
