The SU-76 was a Soviet light tank destroyer which was produced by the Soviet Union from 1942 to 1945. The SU-76 was a lengthened and widened version of the T-70 tank, and it was the second most-produced Soviet armored vehicle during World War II after the T-34 tank. The vehicle was nicknamed Suchka ("Little Bitch") by Soviet crews because of its poor steering, and Soviets also compared the tank to the Elefant tank destroyer with the nickname Golozhopiy Ferdinand ("Bare-assed Ferdinand", referring to the Elefant's designer Ferdinand Porsche). 14,292 SU-76s were made during the war.
