Based on the T-34 framework, the SU-85 ended up being a tank destroyer armed with an impressive self-propelled 85mm gun. Since the tank did not feature a moving turret, the SU-85 ended up being simple to create. The automobile featured a V-2 12-cylinder diesel engine and topped down at 34 miles per hour on roadways. Roughly 2,050 Russian SU-85 tank destroyers were built from 1943 until belated 1944. The tank destroyer was produced as a counter offense to reports for the new German Panther tank. The SU-85 wasn't operative within the 1943 battle of Kursk; however, it was used from December 1943 to counter-attack German Panthers and Tiger tanks.
