The SU-76M was a lightly armored, open-topped Soviet self-propelled gun based on a lengthened T-70 light tank chassis. Armed with a powerful 76.2mm ZIS-3 field gun, it played a critical role in infantry support, anti-tank operations, and urban warfare from 1943 through the end of the war. Over 14,000 units were produced, making it the second most-produced Soviet armored vehicle after the T-34.
