The SU-76 was a Soviet light self-propelled gun used during and after the Second World War. It was based on a lengthened version of the T-70 light tank chassis and armed with the ZIS-3 model 1942 76 millimeter divisional field gun, developed under the leadership of chief designer S. A. Ginzburg. Its simple construction and multipurpose combat role made it the second most produced Soviet armored fighting vehicle of the war, after the T-34 medium tank.
