Jagdpanther is a German tank destroyer of World War II. The first prototypes of the car were created in 1943, and serial production continued in the period 1944-1945, ending with the release of 392 cars. The Jagdpanther was equipped with one Maybach HL 230 P30 engine with a capacity of 700 horsepower. It was armed with 1 88 mm PaK 43 L / 71 cannon and 1 7.92 mm MG34 machine gun. The Jagdpanther was created in response to a request announced by the German Army in August 1942 for a new tank destroyer. In response to this requirement, the cooperating Krupp and Daimler-Benz factories developed a preliminary technical specification based on the chassis of the PzKpfw V Panther tank and models that had been approved by the German Army. The new tank destroyer had powerful weapons capable of destroying any enemy vehicle in the period 1944-1945, as well as well-profiled armor - especially in the front of the vehicle. The disadvantages were the complex production process and the high cost of the car, which actually inhibited mass production. The Jagdpanther made its battlefield debut in the summer of 1944 in Normandy, then fought against the Western Allies in France and in the Ardennes operation at the turn of 1944-1945. It appeared on the Eastern Front in the fall of 1944, successfully fighting both the T-34 and the heavy IS-2. After the Second World War, Jagdpantera served in the French army until the 1960s!
