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 6×4 modification of the US Ford AA 4×2 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.

The BA-3 was a medium, six-wheeled armored car of Soviet construction. The first prototypes were built in 1934, and short series production lasted from 1934 to 1935 and ended with the production of about 180 vehicles. The car was powered by a 40 HP GAZ-A carburetor engine. The main armament was a 20K wz. 1932 caliber 45 mm placed in a rotating turret, and the auxiliary armament was provided by 2 DT 7.62 mm machine guns. The BA-3 was created as a successor to the BA-I car. In the new car, particular emphasis was placed on thickening the armor and the use of strong main armament. As a result, the turret of the T-26 tank model 1933 was placed on the new car. Introduced into service, the BA-3 was one of the most heavily armed armored cars in the world at the time of its debut, but it was characterized by terrible off-road characteristics, low maneuverability and evident overloading of the chassis and power transmission components. Already in 1938, the vehicle was considered obsolete and unsuitable for service by the Red Army command. Despite this, the BA-3 fought against the Japanese in the Battle of Chałchyn-Gol (1939) and took part in the aggression against Poland in September 1939 and in the Winter War with Finland (1939-1930). The BA-3 survivors of these campaigns were executed by the Red Army in the first months of the war with Germany in 1941.
