[edit] History
The SMK was among the designs competing to replace the unreliable and expensive T-35.
The testing ground for the SMK and other competing models, which included the KV-1, was the Winter War. The KV-1 design was chosen due to its resistance against Finnish anti-tank weapons.[citations needed]
