Comparing: T-34-85 vs. T-34-85 Rudy vs. T-34-85M

Final modification of the T-34 tank of 1943. A new three-man gun turret allowed a more powerful 85-mm gun to be mounted. This greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the tank compared to its predecessor, the T-34-76. A total of more than 35,000, in several variants, were produced. Today the tank is still in service in several countries.

This fictional T-34-85 tank, identified as Number 102 of the 1st Tank Brigade of the Polish Army, was featured in the Polish TV series "Four Tank-Men and a Dog." In reality, Т-34-85s were produced in Poland in the 1950s at the Bumar Labedy plant, located in Gliwice. The Polish variant was slightly modified from the Soviet tank of the late-war period.

A modification of the T-34-85 tank, produced at Factory No. 183. Unlike the original vehicle, it featured enhanced front armor and reduced rear armor.
