This was the case on the Eastern Front during the Second World War; many Soviet and German tanks found their way into opposing armies. Both sides would experiment with replacing the main guns of captured vehicles with domestic models, meaning they wouldn’t need to rely upon captured stockpiles of ammunition. Today we’re going to look at one such example that never made it off the drawing board; the T-V-85, a Panther mounting a Soviet 85mm gun.

The German army entered the Second World War with the belief that the 3.7 cm caliber anti-tank guns would be sufficient to deal with enemy tanks. They quickly realized that this gun was barely adequate, and in many cases, almost useless when dealing with stronger enemy armor. Early tank guns also found themselves in a similar situation. Having to address the situation, and somewhat in desperation, the Germans turned to what they had at hand. Luckily for them, they had a large number of available 8.8 cm (3.46 in) anti-aircraft guns that had excellent ballistic properties and proved to be very good at taking out the most well-protected tanks. Too often, the German ground forces would turn to the 8.8 cm guns to turn the day in their favor in the early stages of the war. After 1942, their role as anti-tank weapons was somewhat diminished, but they remained in use up to the end of the war.

When the US joined the war in 1941, their primary light tank was the M3 Stuart and, while this vehicle was acceptable for that time, there was an interest in a new light tank. In January 1941, the US Army started the T7 Light Tank program, however, by August 6th, 1942, this tank had grown in weight and size and was now reclassified as the M7 Medium Tank. With no replacement for the Light Tank M3 in progress, the T21 Light Tank project was started. If you liked this video, please consider donating on Patreon or Paypal!

One of the biggest problems with Self Propelled Guns (SPGs) is that they can only carry a limited amount of their precious and delicate ammunition, so other vehicles have to be tasked with supplying it to the SPGs. Argentina did exactly that at the beginning of the current millennium, when they converted the Tanque Argentino Mediano (TAM) chassis into the Vehículo de Combate Amunicionador (VCAmun) to supply the Vehículo de Combate de Artillería (VCA) If you liked this video, please consider donating on Patreon or Paypal!
