Den T-34 er en medium tank, der trådte i tjeneste i 1940 med Den Røde Hær. På det tidspunkt var det en bemærkelsesværdig balance mellem de tre vigtigste faktorer, der definerede kvaliteten af et pansret køretøj, nemlig: ildkraft, beskyttelse og mobilitet. Denne succes gjorde det til et af Sovjetunionens aktiver mod invasionen af Wehrmacht. For at imødegå det skal det også revidere sin politik for tankdesign ved f.eks. at udvikle Panzer-V 'Panther', som lånte nogle af sine tekniske egenskaber fra T-34. Selv om de hurtigt blev overhalet af udenlandske produktioner, blev T-34 vil stadig forblive i produktion fra 1940 til 1958, med i alt producerede enheder anslået til 84.070 eksemplarer, hvilket gør den til den næstmest producerede tank nogensinde, lige bag dens efterfølgere, T-54 og T-55.

Den T-34/76 was a Soviet medium tank introduced in 1940. It is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential tank designs of World War II, combining revolutionary sloped armor, a powerful diesel engine, and a capable 76.2 millimeter gun, which gave it a major edge over contemporary German tanks in 1941.

Revolutionary Design Elements
The T-34’s initial success stemmed from three primary innovations:
- Sloped Armor: The highly angled armor plating greatly increased the effective thickness and deflected incoming rounds, making it difficult for early German anti-tank guns to penetrate.
- V-2 Diesel Engine: This engine provided superior power-to-weight, excellent range, and used diesel fuel, which was less flammable than the gasoline used by most contemporary German and Western Allied tanks.
- Wide Tracks: The broad tracks and Christie suspension gave the tank superior mobility over the mud, snow, and poor roads of the Eastern Front, where German tanks often struggled.
Production Priority: Due to the desperate need for tanks following the German invasion (Operation Barbarossa), the Soviet government prioritized rapid, mass production over quality control, leading to high numbers of tanks but also initial issues with reliability, particularly with the gearbox and engine.
