The T-34 is a Soviet medium tank introduced in 1940, famously deployed during World War II against Operation Barbarossa. It had an unprecedented balance of firepower, mobility, protection and ruggedness. Its 76.2 mm (3 in) high-velocity tank gun was more powerful than its contemporaries while its 60 degree sloped armour provided good protection against anti-tank weapons. The sloped armor and Christie suspension were inherited from the design of American J. Walter Christie's M1928 tank, versions of which were sold turret-less to the Red Army and documented as "farm tractors", after being rejected by the U.S. Army. The T-34 had a profound effect on the conflict on the Eastern Front in the Second World War, and had a lasting impact on tank design. Thanks Wikipedia
