Product Description

- The fourth installment of the Red Machine series, which provides detailed explanations of military vehicles developed by the Soviet Red Army with numerous photographs and drawings, focuses on the SU-122 self-propelled assault gun, which appeared in December 1942, in the middle of World War II.
- The SU-122 was the Red Army's first self-propelled gun, inspired by the success of the German Sturmgeschütz III and equipped with a 122mm M-30 howitzer on the chassis of a T-34 tank.
- Produced at the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant (UZTM), it was initially intended to provide general close support for tanks and infantry, but like the Stug III, it could also effectively fight against tanks in anti-tank combat, and would evolve into the SU-85 and SU-100, which were equipped with more powerful anti-tank guns.
- This book tells the fascinating story of how the SG-122, based on a captured Stug III chassis, and several prototypes were developed before finally resulting in the SU-122.
- Blueprints, drawings, color profiles and data sheets illustrate the development and production variants of each vehicle, with much of the information and photos being presented to the Western world for the first time.
- The two remaining precious cars are introduced with a wealth of photographs, including photos of the interior in its original condition.
- This is a valuable book series that should be collected by researchers and modelers of Red Army vehicles.
