Notes | The SU-76 (Samokhodnaya Ustanovka) was a self-propelled gun mounted on the lengthened chassis of the T-70 light tank. The Soviet high command had requested such a vehicle for use in the infantry support role and requested for it to carry the 76.2mm ZiS-3 gun. The gun was enclosed in a fully armoured fighting compartment and had the ability to fire both AP and HE rounds. The SU-76 was found to have many faults which halted production and this resulted in a modified version being produced in the shape of the SU-76M. |
