Morar Andrei Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I knew that the soviets confiscated in september-october 1944 confiscated all the prototypes and plans for this vehicle. What about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morar Andrei Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Yeah, the romanians intended to create a tank destroyers similar to the german Hertzer in 1944, and it could even get on the frontline unless the events of august same year. Originally, it was intended to have a 122mm howitzer, then switched to a 76mm anti-tank canon, and finally back to a 122mm one.But I knew that all of the 10 prototypes built and all the plans for this tank have been confiscated by the soviet occupants and sent in Russia (nobody knows even now what happened to them). But is this at least a replica of an original plan of this tank destroyer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 They were based on Soviet T 60 captured chassis ,only seven prototypes were built not all equal . the differed in armament ,122 mm or 75 mm gun , motor , soviet or french (hotchkiss ) and eve chassis . one or two were on czech tanks . the Romanians planned to build 1000 , all the prototypes were confiscated by the soviets .In fact the Russians only allowed the now allied Romanian Army to mantain the most weared or obsolete AFV s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morar Andrei Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 You are right, all of the Romanian TACAM T-60s have been confiscated by russians, but they could keep the 20 TACAM R-2 tank destroyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
