MOSCOW, December 21 – RIA Novosti. In the midst of World War II, the USSR developed a “supertank” T-44, superior in characteristics to the T-34, but did not fully replace the armored vehicles in service, said Caleb Larson, a columnist for the 19fortyfive portal. The history of the T-44 began in 1943, when the Red Army realized the need for a more powerful and protected combat vehicle than the legendary T-34, the publication says. At the same time, it is noted that there is no consensus among historians about the superiority of the new model over the older tank. On the new tank, it was possible to install a cannon of caliber 85 and even 122 mm instead of 76.2 mm on the T-34. In addition, the armored vehicle turned out to be more compact than its predecessor – the base was shorter, and the turret was shifted closer to the center. According to Larson, the military leadership criticized the new tank for its more complex design and limited theoretical height of the gun. According to the observer, the T-44 did not replace the T-34. In the conditions of war, the country could not afford it. Another reason is the negation of the new advantages of the model after the modernization of the T-34 and the installation of an 85-mm cannon. The T-44 went into production in 1944, about 1800 tanks were produced in total, but already in 1946 the T-54 appeared, which in far and replaced the T-34.

The history of the T-44 began in 1943, when the Red Army realized the need for a more powerful and protected combat vehicle than the legendary T-34, the publication says. At the same time, it is noted that there is no consensus among historians about an excellent new model over an older tank.
One of the differences of the T-44 was the transverse placement of the engine, which, on the one hand, complicated the design, and on the other, it saved internal space. On the new tank, it was possible to install a cannon of caliber 85 and even 122 mm instead of 76.2 mm on the T-34. In addition, the armored vehicle turned out to be more compact than its predecessor – the base was shorter, and the turret was shifted closer to the center.

“The roads of Russia will kill them”: the Americans are disappointed in their tanks.
According to the observer, the T-44 did not replace the T-34, since the latter was already in the series, and the preparation of the crews for the new armored vehicle required retraining and additional resources, which in the conditions of a war country could not be. Another new reason is the negation of the advantages of the model after the modernization of the T-34 and the installation of an 85 mm cannon.
The T-44 went into series production in 1944, a total of about 1,800 tanks were produced, but already in 1946 the T-54 appeared, which later replaced the T-34.
The armor is weak. Inflatable tanks were brought out in the center of Kiev
