Tank gun 20 K model 1932 of 45 mm calibre with a barrel length of 46 calibre. It had a semi-automatic breech. It was triggered by a foot pedal. It achieved a rate of fire of 10 to 12 rounds per minute.

It formed, for example, the main armament of the T-26 ( single turret ) tank, BT series tanks and T-35.
