Details

The Soviet T-34/85 was a formidable medium tank that played a crucial role in World War II.

It was an upgraded version of the earlier T-34 model and featured significant improvements in firepower and armor protection.

The "85" in its name referred to the year of its introduction, 1943, and the 85mm main gun it was equipped with.

The T-34/85 showcased a well-balanced combination of mobility, firepower, and reliability, making it a formidable adversary for German tanks on the Eastern Front.

Its sloped armor design provided enhanced protection, deflecting incoming projectiles and increasing its survivability on the battlefield.

Its presence on the battlefield proved crucial in the Soviet Union's ability to repel German advances and eventually push them back towards the west.

The tank's performance and effectiveness contributed significantly to the Soviet victory on the Eastern Front.

Overall, the T-34/85 was a highly influential and successful medium tank of its time, showcasing a balance between firepower, protection, and mobility.

It left a lasting impact on armored warfare and is remembered as one of the most iconic tanks of World War II.
