Historical background and application

The capturing and adaptation of Soviet armored vehicles by the Wehrmacht was a common practice, especially after the launch of Operation Barbarossa. The SU-85 tank, armed with a powerful 85 mm gun, became a tempting prize for German forces, who, after capturing these vehicles, often used them as tank destroyers under the designation Jagdpanzer SU-85 (R). They were used on the Eastern Front between 1943–1945, mainly as support for German armored units in defense and counterattacks, as well as for combating Soviet armored weapons.
