TACAM T-60 (RO100)

TACAM T-60 (RO100) includes one TACAM T-60 Tank Destroyer with crew. The TACAM T-60 is an ingenious combination of two bits of captured Soviet equipment, the T-60 light tank and the 76.2mm obr 1936 field gun (FK36(r) as used by the Germans). Check out the TACAM T-60 in our online shop

Forward Firing Some tanks mount weapons in the front of the hull instead of in a turret to save weight or to make them easier to produce. A Forward Firing Weapon mounted in the front of a vehicle has a 180-degree Field of Fire covering everything in front of a line drawn across the front of the vehicle.

34 vehicles were completed by the end of 1943 and assigned to the training unit of the 1st Armoured Division where they were split into the 61st and 62nd TACAM companies. They saw service in Transnistria and Basarabia in February to August 1944.

One company of TACAM T-60 tank-hunters continued fighting in Transylvania after the Romanians had joined the Allies. The Romanians also used their old R-2 tanks combined with the Soviet 76.2mm ZIS-3 gun to create the TACAM R-2. This also saw action against the Germans and Hungarians.
