SOVIET HEAVY ARTILLERY TRACTOR "VOROSHILOVETS" 1941
Description: Not the most widely-produced Soviet Artillery tractor, but perhaps one of the most successful. The Voroshilovets began production in 1939 and ended in 1942. Only around 1100 were produced and although the production was curtailed due to the Germans overrunning the principal production facility in Kharkov (later on, with production transferred to STZ in Stalingrad, this was also lost). Production was also cut due to the strategic demand for tank engines with the power plant being switched from the V-2W to the V-4 - the V-2W being needed for T34s. The longevity of the Voroshilovets was also a surprising aspect - several photos exist of the vehicle in the battle for Berlin in 1945.
