In 1943, the Russian SU-76 self-propelled weapon was not any longer effective to battle this new German tanks. During the end of 1943, the SU-85 originated to restore the SU-76 self-propelled weapon. The SY-85 ended up being based off the T-34 hull and armed with a 85mm weapon. But as a result of depth of the armor, need expanded for a more effective tank. The SU-85 was modified in 1944. It was outfitted with a 100mm gun and renamed the SU-100. The 100mm did not have a similar piercing energy due to the fact German 75mm or British 17pdr weapons, however it was heavier compared to 75mm and allowed the Russian military to easily destroy the German tanks. The turret-less design also was an edge because labor and construction expenses had been 20% less. In comparison, the turret-less design left the SU-100 weak in slim or sloped landscapes. Thus, the SU-100 ended up being used as fire help for infantry and anti-tank combat. The SU-100 remained operating until the 1970s.
