Comparing: Krupp-Steyr Waffenträger vs. SU-100M1

A vehicle project by Steyr as a special artillery transporter that would be able not only to transport the gun but also to fire it from the chassis. To keep costs down and reduce complexity, the design used many components of the Raupenschlepper Ost, a tracked artillery mover. The turret and gun were supplied by Krupp. One wooden model and one prototype were manufactured by September 2, 1944.

Developed at the UHMP (Ural Heavy Machinery Plant) on the basis of the T-34-85. The fighting compartment was located in the rear. The vehicle superceded by the SU-100M-2, based on the basis of the T-44, and never manufactured.
