18m
The SU-76M was the second most produced Soviet Armored Fighting Vehicle of the Second World War, as such it was it was only second to the T-34. Yet, quite often it is portrayed as a tank destroyer, which is rather misleading, especially if one looks at the equipment and doctrine. In this video we look at the role, the history and the capabilities like armor, firepower and mobility of the SU-76M.
