| Notes | The SU-85 (Samokhodnaya Ustanovka) was really a SU-122 but mounted an 85mm gun, which gave it all the capabilities as a tank destroyer. The 85mm D-5S gun was derived from the 85mm anti-aircraft gun and was modified for such use. The SU-122 was built on the T-34 chassis which provided a stable platform and this also gave the SU-85 great mobility and reliability. The SU-85 was capable of destroying the much vaunted Tiger at a decent range and was issued to tank destroyer battalions. |
