BA - 20 The BA - 20 ( ) was an armored car developed in the Soviet Union in 1934 . It was intended to replace the FAI and its field trials were completed in 1935 . The BA - 20 was then used in the early stages of World War II . Design and production . The BA - 20 armored car was developed in 1934 for use by HQ staffs , reconnaissance and communications units . It was derived from the civilian GAZ - M1 car using its chassis , which was itself a modified version of a Ford design , produced by the Nizhny Novgorod - based vehicle manufacturer GAZ . Full production of the BA - 20 started in 1935 . The chassis was built at the Nizhny Novgorod factory ; the body was built at the Vyksinskiy plant , where final assembly of the BA - 20 occurred as well . Service . The principal use of the BA - 20 was as a scout vehicle . The BA - 20 ' s tires were designed to be resistant to bullets and shrapnel by the simple expedient of filling them with spongey rubber . A variant , the BA - 20ZhD , could travel on railway lines by replacing the normal wheels with flanged metal rail - type wheels . The vehicle was exported to the Spanish Republican side in the Spanish Civil War , although the vast majority of BA - 20s built served with the Soviet Red Army . They first saw combat in the conflict with Japan in 1939 on the Khalkin Gol river in Mongolia ( see " Battle of Khalkin Gol " ) . The BA - 20 was used by the Red Army in the Soviet invasion of Poland later in 1939 and the Winter War against Finland between 1939 - 40 in which Finland captured 18 designating them as PA - 6 , as well as the early stages of Operation Barbarossa in 1941 . Production was ended that same year , with some 4 , 800 BA - 20s having been constructed by that time . Some had flamethrowers instead of the DP - 28 . During the Winter War Finland captured a number of BA - 20 armoured cars and put them into service . In common with most armored cars derived from cars , the BA - 20 was largely roadbound . The lack of all - wheel drive , high ground pressure , and low power prevented it from moving cross - country except on very firm ground . The armor was too thin to stop anything other than fragments or small - arms fire , and the 7 . 62 mm machinegun was not adequate to penetrate other scout vehicles . The Red Army produced very few wheeled armored fighting vehicle s in the war , but replaced the BA - 20 with the BA - 64 B . Mistaken identification . The BA - 20 is often mistaken for the very similar FAI armoured car . The main recognition feature is the flat roof of the BA - 20 ; the FAI has two dome - shaped covers over the driver ' s and co - driver ' s stations . Early BA - 20s had the same vertical - sided turret as the FAI . Later models had a conical - shaped turret . Some had flamethrowers instead of the DP - 28 .
