| Notes | By mid-war the fighting capabilities of the R-2 light tank were none existent, especially when faced with Soviet medium and heavy AFVs. The decision was made to convert them to tank destroyers and mount them with a light field gun. The turret was removed and an ex-Russian 76.2mm Zis-3 field gun was mounted in an armoured compartment. These self-propelled guns were then named Tacam R-2s and were made available in July 1944. They were formed into a single company and used for training, they never fought on the side of the Axis and what few vehicles were in service fought with Romanian units which were on same side of the Russians. |
