The SU-76 saw service from late 1942 to 1945. The SU-76 mounted a ZIS-3 76.2mm divisional gun and a machine gun on a T-60 light tank chassis. The SU-76 was later developed into the SU-76M. Unlike the ineffective T-60, T-70 and T-80 light tanks, the SU-76 mounted a useful weapon which could penetrate 49 to 62mm of armour at 900m.
