T-34/122 Self-Propelled Howitzer

Although one of the finest tanks of WWII, by the 1960s, the T-34/85 was becoming outclassed by more modern tanks. Egypt produced several variants to address the deficiency, the most powerful of which was the T-34/122. After removal of the gun, the turret of the T34/85 was cut away in order to permit installation of a Soviet 122 mm D-30 howitzer. Flat plating was built up on the sides, rear and top to provide protection for the crew, resulting in the curiously-shaped turret. The T-34/122 entered service with the Egyptian infantry division anti-tank battalions in the late 1960s. It saw action in the Yom Kippur War in 1973 and was retired shortly afterwards.
