The Jagdtiger was a German heavy tank destroyer of World War II. The first prototypes of the car were produced in 1943, and serial production continued in the period 1944-1945, ending with the release of only 88 cars. The Jagdtiger was equipped with a single Maybach HL 230 P30 engine with a capacity of 700 horsepower. Its main armament was the powerful 128 mm PaK 44 L/55 gun and one 7.92 mm MG34 or MG 42 machine gun. The Jagdtiger was created at the Henschel factory in connection with the order of the Reich Armaments Office in August 1943 for a vehicle that could be armed with a new 128 mm gun. The new machine was based on a modified chassis of the Pzkpfw VI Ausf tank. B (Tiger II). In the end, the heaviest armored car of the Second World War was created, weighing as much as 75 tons, with weapons that could destroy enemy tanks at distances of up to 3500-4000 meters, and well armored. At the same time, it was characterized by terrible maneuverability, a very low maximum speed, a clearly too weak engine and a high susceptibility to malfunctions - especially the gearbox. From September 1944, Jagdtiger tank destroyers served with two heavy tank destroyer divisions, 512 and 653, mainly on the Western Front.
