V T-34 je srednji tank, ki je vstopil v službo leta 1940 z Rdečo armado. V tem času je bilo izjemno ravnovesje med tremi pomembnimi dejavniki, ki so opredelili kakovost oklepnega vozila, in sicer: ognjeno moč, zaščito in mobilnost. Zaradi tega uspeha je bila ena od prednosti Sovjetske zveze pred invazijo Wehrmachta. V nasprotju z tem bo moral slednji pregledati tudi svojo politiko oblikovanja tankov, tako da bo na primer razvil panzer-V "Panther", ki si je del tehničnih značilnosti sposodil od T-34. Čeprav se je s tujimi produkcijami hitro presegla, je T-34 bo še vedno v proizvodnji od leta 1940 do 1958, saj je skupno proizvedenih enot ocenjeno na 84.070 izvodov, zaradi česar je drugi najbolj proizveden tank vseh časov, kmalu za svojimi nasledniki, T-54 in T-55.

V 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.
