During the Great Patriotic War, Soviet military designers created a seamless casting tower for the T-34 tank, due to which the machine had a significant advantage over the tanks of Nazi Germany. This was told by Alexey Oryshchenko, general director of the Central Research Institute Prometey, which produced the T-34.
According to the general director of the enterprise on the air of the TV channel “Zvezda”, the tower of German tanks was welded, because of which its corners were rectangular. Until the end of the war, no one in the world except the USSR had begun to produce tanks with injection turrets, and by 1943, Soviet vehicles were superior to those of Germany on all combat fronts, since the injection tower was not only stronger, but also easier to install, Oryshchenko said. …
“The casting tower is a ready-made product, on which the surplus was removed and put directly on the tank. I think the Germans were not smart enough to come to this, ”he said.
