The T-34 tank is certainly one of the most famous armored vehicles of World War II and formed the backbone of the Soviet armed forces during the conflict. The main innovations introduced by the T-34 were the inclined front armor, which guaranteed better protection from the hits it received, and the use of wide tracks, ideal for achieving good mobility in any type of terrain. Armed with a short-barreled 76mm cal. gun, the first T-34s immediately gained an operational advantage over the most popular German tanks of the time, such as the Panzer III and Panzer IV. Thanks to its 12-cylinder diesel engine with 500 hp, it was able to reach a top speed of 55 km/h. It is considered by many historians to be the best tank of World War II, in terms of operational efficiency.
