The T-34 tank is
undoubtedly one of the most iconic armored vehicles of World War II and
served as the backbone of the Soviet Armed Forces during the conflict.
The main innovations introduced by the T-34 included the sloped frontal
armor, which provided greater protection against incoming fire, and the
adoption of wide tracks, ideal for achieving good mobility across all
types of terrain. The first T-34s, equipped with a short-barreled 76 mm
gun, quickly gained an operational advantage over the most common German
tanks of the time, such as the Panzer III and Panzer IV. In 1943, the
T-34 was further improved with the introduction of a completely new
turret featuring thicker armor and capable of housing the long-barreled
85 mm gun. With the deployment of the first T-34/85s to armored units,
the Soviet armies were able to match even the most modern and effective
German tanks, such as the Tiger and the Panther.
Finished size: 23,3 cm.
