Historical and Technical Information

The 85mm D-5T barrel was the flagship armament of the T-34/85 tank, which made its debut on the Eastern Front towards the end of World War II, in the years 1944–1945. The T-34/85, developed in the USSR as a response to the growing threat from German tanks such as the Tiger I and Panther, played a key role in the battles of the Red Army. The D-5T gun was designed as an effective weapon for defeating German armored vehicles and fortifications, providing high armor penetration and firepower. Thanks to this, the T-34/85 became one of the most recognizable tanks of World War II.
