The T-34 is a Soviet tank that played a crucial role during World War II. Introduced in 1940, it combined powerful armor and a potent 76.2 mm gun, making it effective against enemy forces. Its sloped armor design helped deflect incoming fire, while its mobility allowed for quick maneuvers on the battlefield. The T-34's reliability and ease of production enabled Soviet forces to field thousands of them, significantly impacting the war’s outcome on the Eastern Front. It is often regarded as one of the most effective and influential tanks in military history.
