Teh Пантера — немецкий средний танк, развернутый во время Второй мировой войны на Восточном и Западном фронтах в Европе с середины 1943 года до конца войны в 1945 году. Оно имело обозначение инвентаризации боеприпасов Sd.Kfz. 171. Он был обозначен как Panzerkampfwagen V Пантера до 27 февраля 1944 года, когда Гитлер приказал, чтобы римские цифры "V" быть удалены. Современные отчеты на английском языке иногда называют его "Марк V".

This German ordnance designation refers to the Панцеркампфваген V Пантера, often simply called the Panther tank. It was a medium tank developed by Nazi Germany and used on the Eastern and Western Fronts of World War II from mid-1943 until the end of the war in May 1945.
The Panther is widely regarded by historians as one of the best German tanks of the war, and an influential design due to its sloped armor, powerful main gun, and good mobility.

Key Design Features
- Sloped Armor: The Panther’s most notable feature, inspired by the Soviet T-34, was its heavily sloped frontal armor (up to 80 mm at 55 degrees on the glacis plate, equivalent to a much thicker vertical plate). This significantly increased its protection against enemy fire.
- Powerful Gun: The 7.5 cm KwK 42 L/70 was a high-velocity gun that could penetrate the armor of nearly any Allied tank it faced.
- Interleaved Road Wheels: The use of large, overlapping, interleaved road wheels provided excellent weight distribution and a very smooth ride, crucial for cross-country performance. However, this design was also complex and time-consuming to maintain and repair, particularly in muddy or icy conditions.
Major Variants
- Ausf. D: The initial production model, first seeing combat at the Battle of Kursk in 1943. It suffered from numerous mechanical issues initially.
- Ausf. A: Corrected many of the mechanical faults of the Ausf. D, featured a new, better-protected cast commander’s cupola, and often included a hull machine gun ball mount.
- Ausf. G: The most common and final major production variant. It featured changes to the hull side armor (thicker and simpler), the removal of the driver’s vision port (relying solely on a periscope), and further mechanical refinements.
