Soviet military vehicles of World War II

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Red Army had during the Second World War armored vehicles unterschiedlichster origin in their stock. The majority came from local production, but a not inconsiderable part was supplied by the Western Allies under the lend lease agreement. German captured tanks or their own conversions of captured vehicles were also used to a limited extent.

Armored vehicles

The history of the tank manufacturing industry in the USSR from 1920 to 1945 can be divided into four periods. In the first period beginning in the early 1920s, the company concentrated on its own further development of foreign designs such as the Renault FT , which resulted in the T-18 and T-24 . Buried in permanent positions, some T-18s were still in use in the early days of the Great Patriotic War .

Due to the dissatisfaction with the combat power of these models, the Soviet leadership began in 1930 to reproduce or further develop foreign tank models under license. The result was the T-27 tankette , the T-37 and T-38 floating tanks, and the BT series and T-26 light tanks , all based on designs by Carden-Loyd , Christie and Vickers . The multi-turn armored vehicles T-28 and T-35 , influenced by Vickers and by the German large tractor , were their own designs. Due to the rapid changes in tanks and anti-tank weapons as well as operational doctrine, these designs were soon considered out of date. Only the T-28 had the potential to increase combat strength and was used with some success in the winter war , while the other models were considered obsolete. Defects occurring in maneuvers or in everyday operation were attached to the designers and technicians, so that they were often accused of sabotage or conspiracy and victims of the Stalinist purges , which significantly weakened Soviet tank construction.

The increasing industrialization made it possible in the third period beginning in 1939 to develop own tanks. A. Morosov , J. Kotin and N. Astrow and S. Ginsburg , who had escaped the purge, became the leading designers of the Soviet tank industry. In this phase the floating tank T-40 , the light tank T-50 , the medium tank T-34 and the heavy tank KW-1 were created . With the German attack on the Soviet Union , the last phase began, in which Soviet tank construction was characterized by a concentration on only a few powerful and easy to manufacture models. Due to the simplified and inexpensive production, an enormous increase in the output figures could be achieved. At the end of the war, the powerful IS-2 and IS-3 heavy vehicles , as well as the medium T-44, were examples of modern Soviet tank construction.

The table below shows the models of tanks that took part in the Winter War and the Great Patriotic War or were developed during this period.
