Historical Information

The Jagdtiger is a German tank destroyer designed at the end of World War II. Its production began in 1944 and continued until 1945. It was used exclusively by Germany during the final phase of the war, mainly on the Western Front and in defensive operations in Germany. Only several dozen units saw combat; however, thanks to its powerful 128 mm PaK 44 gun and armor thickness of up to 250 mm, it impressed both with its firepower and resistance to enemy fire.

Despite its power, the Jagdtiger struggled with many operational difficulties—from drive system failures to high fuel consumption. Nevertheless, it remained one of the most distinctive vehicles of its class until the end of the war.
