The FAI-M (Ford-A Izhorskyi) armored car was a replacement for the D-8 armored car used by the Soviet Union from the early 1930s to the early 1940s. The FAI was built on the chassis of the GAZ A car, a licensed copy of the American Ford A. This chassis was the main weak point of the FAI. FAI-M was built on the chassis of the GAZ-M1 car with a 60-liter fuel tank. FAI and BA-20 are often confused with each other. The main difference of the FAI is two dome-shaped armored casings above the driver's and navigator's seats. Instead, the BA-20 had a flat armored roof in this area.
