Galerie photo sur un SU-100, Le SU-100 est un chasseur de chars sur une base de T-34 avec une pièce D-10S de 100 mm dans une superstructure avant.
Les Soviétiques, qui avaient déjà expérimenté la construction de canon autopropulsés, tant sur base de camion que sur base de tank, ont produit tôt dans la guerre quelques Komsomoletz, basés sur un canon Zis-2 de 57mm monté sur des châssis de tracteur. En 1943, ils produisent le SU-85 et, fin 1944, le SU-100 qui combinait un puissant canon sur un châssis moderne fournissant un blindage complet. Il avait l’avantage d’être relativement bon marché à produire et d’avoir un canon un peu plus puissant que celui qui équipait le char dont il dérivait, ce qui donnait aux Russes une grande flexibilité.

Teh SU-100 (Samokhodnaya Ustanovka-100) was a Soviet αυτοκινούμενο αντιαρματικό πυροβόλο developed in 1944. Based on the successful T-34-85 tank chassis, it was designed to counter the superior armor of late-war German heavy tanks, such as the Panther and Tiger I. It quickly earned a reputation as one of the most formidable tank killers on the Eastern Front.
Key Features and Design
- Main Armament: The vehicle’s power came from the 100 mm D-10S anti-tank gun, a potent weapon capable of penetrating the frontal armor of most German tanks at combat ranges. This gun was later used on the post-war T-54/T-55 main battle tanks.
- Chassis: It utilized the reliable and mobile chassis of the T-34 medium tank, retaining good off-road mobility.
- Design Type: It employed a casemate (turretless) superstructure, which provided a lower profile and allowed for mounting a much larger gun than the standard T-34 turret could accommodate. However, this design limited the gun’s traverse to a narrow arc ($\pm 8^{\circ}$).
- Armor: The frontal armor of the casemate was significantly upgraded from its predecessor (the SU-85) to 75 mm at a 55-degree slope, giving it an effective thickness superior to many German tank guns.
- Crew: Operated by a crew of four (Commander/Radio Operator, Gunner, Loader, Driver).
Operational Role in WWII
The SU-100 entered service in late 1944 and saw extensive combat during the final year of the war, particularly in massive engagements:
- Tank Killer: Its primary role was as a mobile anti-tank asset attached to tank and motorized corps, intended to ambush and destroy heavy German armor at long ranges.
- Major Engagements: It was notably used in large numbers during the final Soviet offensives, including the heavy fighting in Hungary (e.g., the Battle of Lake Balaton) in March 1945.
- Weakness: The design lacked any secondary machine gun, making it vulnerable to close-range infantry attacks and necessitating infantry support during urban combat, such as the Battle of Berlin.
