Aberdeen Proving Grounds

Russian SU-100

By Robert Runnels

Armament: 100mm main gun, no secondary armament

Speed: 34 mph

This tank destroyer gave the Russians an excellent weapon to use against the thickly armored Tiger and Panther tanks that the Germans fielded during the latter years of the war.

This vehicle even saw service in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war with Egyptian forces.
