Sd.Kfz 164 Nashorn (German rhino) was established in 1942 as a tank destroyer and a remedy for the threat posed by the German Soviet Panzerwaffe T-34. It was treated as a temporary solution, especially considering the fatal armor and the very tall silhouette of the vehicle. However, it served until the end of the war both in the East and in Italy, and on the Western Front. These disadvantages were made up mainly by the very effective 88mm PAK43 / L71 anti-tank gun. It was able to eliminate any Allied or Soviet tanks (maybe except the IS-2) at a distance of 2000-2500m, and the unofficial record is the destruction of an enemy tank from a distance of 4600m! The global number of Hornisse vehicles produced was limited to 494 units and was mainly concentrated in the ALKETT plants. Throughout the war, the vehicles were equipped with the Schwere Panzerjager Abteilung 560, 655, 525, 93, 519 and 88. Technical data: length (with a barrel): 8.44 m, width: 2.95 m, height: 2.65 m, weight 24t, engine power: 296KM, speed (on the road): 42 km / h, armament: 1 PAK43 / L71 gun caliber 88mm and 1 MG34 machine gun cal.7.92mm.
