Fotógaléria egy SU-100-on, A SZU-100 egy T-34 bázison lévő harckocsiromboló, 100 mm-es D-10S darabbal, előretolt felépítményben.
A szovjetek, akik már kísérleteztek önjáró lövegek építésével, mind teherautó-, mind harckocsibázisokon, a háború elején gyártottak néhány Komsomoletz-et, amely egy 57 mm-es Zis-2 lövegre épült, amelyet traktor alvázára szereltek. 1943-ban legyártották az SU-85-öt, majd 1944 végén az SU-100-at, amely egy erős löveget kombinált egy modern alvázon, teljes páncélzatot biztosítva. Előnye volt, hogy viszonylag olcsón gyártható volt, és valamivel erősebb fegyverrel rendelkezett, mint az, amely felszerelte azt a tartályt, amelyből származik, ami nagy rugalmasságot adott az oroszoknak.

A SZU-100 (Samokhodnaya Ustanovka-100) was a Soviet Önjáró tartálypisztoly 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.
- Alváz: 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 ($\pm 8^{\circ}$).
- Páncél: 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.
- Legénység: 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.
