Engineer M. I. Koshkin became chief designer at the Kharkov Locomotive Factory in November 1937. He started to build a wheel/track medium tank that had shell safe armor. It was designated the A-20. Work on it continued into 1938. Another project for a medium tanks was started. It was initially designated the A-32 and then later changed to T-32. It had a 76.2 mm gun whereas the A-20 had a 45 mm gun. The armor was also thicker.

In August 1938 the High War Council, let by People's Commissar for Defense, K. J. Voroshilov, discussed the A-20 and T-32. Many on the Council disliked the T-32. In July 1939, the Kharkov Locomotive Factory had completed the prototypes for the A-20 and T-32. They were both then tested and it was decided to go with the T-32. On December 19, 1939, the People's Commissariat for Defense released the T-32 to the Red Army. It was soon designated the T-34.
