Description

Up-armoured T-34 obr 1941
(SU061)

In early 1942 a wave of panic hit the Red army over new German anti-tank weapons like the PaK 40 and an effort was made to up-armour many T-34s. The T-34s were fitted with appliqué armour welded to the hull Front and turret sides.
It was soon realised that the added weight limited one of the T-34s main advantages in combat, its speed and mobility. Once it became apparent the Germans would not be producing the new guns in the numbers the Soviets assumed they would, the extra armour wasn’t added to any more tanks.
During this period the Leningrad front was relatively quiet so many up-armoured T-34 obr 1941s were still in service in the region right up until 1944.
