The T-34-76 tank in the "Ekranovany" (T-34E) version was one of the most innovative variants of the legendary Soviet design, fitted with additional spaced armour. The model is based on the vehicle produced at Factory No. 112 “Krasnoye Sormovo” in the USSR. The first T-34E units appeared on the front during World War II, particularly between 1942 and 1943, as a response to the increasing effectiveness of German anti-tank ammunition. For instance, the T-34E was intensively used during the heavy fighting at Kursk, where increased armour protection proved crucial in engagements with German tanks and anti-tank guns.
