The TACAM R-2 was a Romanian tank destroyer used during World War II. It was based on the chassis of the captured Soviet T-60 light tank and armed with a German 76.2 mm anti-tank gun. The name TACAM stands for Tun Anticar pe Afet Mobil, which means anti-tank gun on mobile carriage. The TACAM R-2 was designed as a stop-gap measure to increase the firepower of the Romanian army, which lacked effective anti-tank weapons. The TACAM R-2 had a crew of three and a thin armor of 7 to 15 mm. It could reach a speed of 40 km/h and had a range of 200 km. The TACAM R-2 entered service in 1944 and saw action in the battles of Târgu Frumos, Iași and Budapest. Only 21 units were built and none survived the war.
