The D-44 cannon is a Soviet 85mm division and anti-tank gun from the declining period of World War II and the post-war period. The first prototypes of the weapon appeared in 1943-1944, and serial production started in 1945. The weight of the weapon in the combat position is approx. 1720 kg. The initial velocity of the sub-caliber shell fired from this gun is up to 1050 m / s. The maximum range is about 15-15.5 kilometers. The D-44 cannon was developed by a team led by General F. Petrov to replace the 76.2 mm ZIS-3 cannon in the line. Compared to its predecessor, the new gun had - apart from the caliber - much better ballistic properties, it was lower, and therefore easier to hide on the battlefield, and it also had a significantly longer barrel. The latter was developed on the basis of the barrel of the T-34/85 tank. Undoubtedly, much of the experience gained from the fighting on the Eastern Front, and especially from the Battle of Kursk in 1943, was used in the construction of the D-44 cannon. Finally, a very successful cannon was created that could both provide support for its own infantry and - especially - destroy armored vehicles and tanks of that time. Its production started in the USSR in 1945 and lasted until 1953, ending with the production of about 11,000 pieces of these weapons. The weapon was also exported to many countries and licensed - also in Poland in 1955-1965.
