The need of a tank able to fight the Soviet T-34 forced the Germans to design the tank destroyer Jagdpanther Sd.Kfz. 173 (Hunting Panther) based on the the Pz.V Panther . It was equipped with an main armament more powerful than the Panther tank, the famous 88 mm semi-automatic gun with a barrel length of 71 calibers, installed in the front glacis plate. It's projectile had a muzzle velocity of 1000 m/s, and at 1 km distance it pierced armor as thick as 100-200 mm. A total of 415 Jagdpanthers were manufactured in 1944/45.
