The SU-5 (Russian СУ-5 ) was a Soviet self-propelled gun of the Second World War . The name SU means "Samochodnaja Ustanowka" (self-propelled gun).

The vehicle is based on the light battle tank T-26 , which in turn was a replica of the British Vickers 6-ton . Several variants were built without series production.

  • SU-1 - self-propelled gun. Armed with a 76.2 mm model 1927 cannon. Single vehicle built and tested in 1931.
  • AT-1 - "Artillery Tank" (artillery support tank). Armed with 76.2 mm PS-3 cannon or L-7 tank cannon. Two vehicles were built and tested in 1935. A total of ten vehicles were planned for 1936, but the order was withdrawn (the Ischora works had already made eight chassis).
  • SU-5-1 - self-propelled gun with a 76.2 mm cannon model 1902/30 (turret open at the top) single vehicle, built in 1934.
  • SU-5-2 - self-propelled gun with a 122 mm howitzer model 1910/30 (turret open at the top). A single vehicle was built in 1934; another 30 copies in 1936.
  • SU-5-3 - self-propelled gun with a 152.4 mm mortar model 1931 (tower open at the top) single vehicle, built in 1934.
  • SU-6 - self-propelled gun with a 76.2 mm 3K anti-aircraft gun (tower open at the top), single vehicle, built in 1935. Four more vehicles, equipped with a 37 mm anti-aircraft machine gun, were planned for 1936.
  • SU-T-26 (SU-26, then SU-76P) - self-propelled gun with turret open at the top and a 37-mm cannon or 76.2-mm cannon, model 1927. The " SM Kirow-Werke " in Leningrad manufactured in 1941 14 vehicles, probably two with the 37mm cannon and twelve with the 76mm cannon.
