About the T-34/85 - Korean War Soviet Tank:
In June of 1950 the North Korean invasion of South Korea was led by a division of over 100 T-34/85s. The T-34/85 was the updated version of the famous Soviet T-34 medium tank, the most common WW2-era design. The new model had a larger turret ring which allowed it to mount a larger and wider turret that housed three crewmen and a new 85 mm cannon which greatly increased the anti-armor characteristics. However, following the introduction of heavier and more capable armor into the US and UN forces, the North Korean Army began to suffer more T-34 tank losses in combat from enemy armor and numerous US/UN airstrikes. Currently several countries still have a few T-34/85’s in active service despite being developed over 80 years previous. A testament to the hard-wearing nature of these prolific tanks.
