Historical Information and Use of the SU-85

The SU-85 was a Soviet tank destroyer built on the T-34 tank chassis. Introduced into production in 1943, it served in the Red Army mainly during World War II. SU-85 units were deployed, among others, during Operation Bagration and the liberation battles in Poland and Eastern Europe. They were characterized by a powerful 85mm gun, which allowed them to effectively engage German Panzer IV, Panther, and Tiger tanks from greater distances than the standard T-34/76. The model presents the early 1944 production version, distinguished by, among other things, turret details as well as drive and armor layout, characteristic of that production series.
