    The
    SU-85
    (
    Samohodnaya ustanovka
    85) was a
    Soviet
    self-propelled gun used during
    World War II
    , based on the chassis of the
    T-34
    medium tank. Earlier Soviet self-propelled guns were meant to serve as either
    assault guns
    , such as the
    SU-122
    , or as
    tank destroyers
    ; the SU-85 fell into the latter category. The designation "85" means the bore of the vehicle's armament, the 85 mm
    D-5S
    gun.
    The SU-85 entered combat in August 1943. It saw active service across the
    Eastern Front
    until the end of the war. Though a capable weapon, it was found that its 85 mm weapon was not adequate to penetrate the armour of the larger German armoured fighting vehicles.
    It was replaced by the SU-100.
    The SU-85 was withdrawn from Soviet service soon after the war, and was exported to many Soviet client states in Europe and elsewhere. Some SU-85s were converted to use as command and recovery vehicles.
    Countries such as
    North Korea
    and
    Vietnam
    kept it in service for many years
