Additional Information
SU-122 — the average weight Soviet self-propelled artillery < /span> (ACS) class assault guns (with certain restrictions could be used as self-propelled howitzers). This machine was one of the first developed in the USSR ACS adopted in large-scale production. The impetus for the creation of the SU-122 was both the need to simplify the design of the T-34 tank as much as possible in difficult military conditions for the USSR in mid-1942, and the desire to give tank and mechanized units a powerful and highly mobile means of fire support. November 30, 1942 at Ural heavy engineering plant (UZTM, Uralmash) ended construction prototype SU-122 and, due to lack of self-propelled artillery, SU-122 was already in December launched into production. In its process, the machine was subjected to numerous modifications associated with its hasty testing and adoption. Production of the SU-122 was discontinued in August 1943 due to the transition to the production of su-85 tank fighters, created on the basis of the SU-122. A total of 638 self-propelled guns were built. SU-122 appeared on the front in early February 1943, and participated successfully in the private transaction of the 54th army in the area of Sordini of 1433 and 1434-th self-propelled artillery regiments on the Volkhov front. The most massively SU-122 used in the offensive campaigns of the second half of 1943, but after the withdrawal from production actively and successfully used in combat until the end of the great Patriotic war.
