The BA-3 was a heavy armored car developed in the Soviet Union in 1933, followed by a slightly changed model, the¬†BA-6 in1936. Both were based mostly on¬†the¬†BA-I, the most important¬†difference¬†being the new turret, same¬†one¬†as in the T-26 m1933 and BT-5 tanks, and also equipped with the45 mmmain gun. Around 180 BA-3 cars were built until production¬†ceased¬†in 1935. Most of BA-3 production was based on the Ford-Timken chassis, a 6√ó4 modification of the US Ford AA 4√ó2 truck, but the last batch was built on¬†a¬†Russian version of the same chassis – GAZ-AAA, continued to be used in BA-6. The biggest limitation of the BA-3 was mobility, limited to roads or very hard ground, the result of¬†its¬†unnecessarily large weight. The innovation that slightly improved mobility were the auxiliary (“Overall”) tracks that could be fitted onto the rear tandem wheels,¬†effectively¬†converting the car to half-track.
