SU-85M / SU-100 Tank Destroyer (x2)

Based on the very reliable T34 chassis, the SU-85 was developed as a tank destroyer based on the earlier SU-122. After removing 122mm M-30S howitzer, a powerful D-5T high velocity 85mm anti tank gun was fitted. The vehicle had good mobility but was relatively lightly armoured. The SU-100 was developed in 1944 and was an improved SU-85 based on the same T34/85 chassis. After testing with different models of 100mm gun, the D-10S cannon was used. Hull armour was also increased from 45mm to 75mm.
