T 34 battle tank9/25/2023 The prototypes were tested using different main armaments, the rifled 85 mm D-5T, the rifled 85 mm ZiS S-53 and the rifled 122 mm D-25T. The first prototype was completed in the beginning of 1944, and two more were finished a month later. The idea of the design was simplistic – to create a low profile, highly maneuverable, fast and adequately armored medium tank as a successor to the T-34. The development of the T-44 (Object 136) started in 1943 in factory № 183 in Nizhny Tagil under the supervision of lead designer Alexander Morozov. That set the stage for the creation of the T-44, which was an entirely different design concept. However the T-43 fell short, as the T-34/85 modification was better suited for production in large quantities during the war and had good enough firepower, so the T-43 was not seen as the radical change needed to counter German armor. As indicated by its appearance, the T-44 is a blend of T-34 and T-54.
