Whenever faced with the Sturmgeschutz II, through the German Blitzkrieg on the Eastern Front, the Russian army quickly started initially to design their assault firearms. The effect had been a tank destroyer on the basis of the T-34 framework, that was armed with a 122mm howitzer. The car ended up being called the SU-122 with all the letters "SU" standing for self-propelled and also the number "122" representing the 122mm howitzer. Assault weapons had some advantages over tanks through the war. Considering insufficient a turret, the automobile could possibly be built with larger stronger weapons with lower manufacturing expenses. But the main disadvantage had been the whole vehicle needed to be relocated to aim at a target. The SU-122 ended up being produced from December 1942 before the summer of 1944. Only 1,150 SU-122 tank destroyers were built during this period. In July 1943, the automobile ended up being employed for the first time in battle of Kursk. This vehicle set the building blocks the SU-85 and SU-100 tank destroyers.
