Project of a self-propelled gun on the chassis of a heavy tank type KV-1.
They were used in combat for the first time on Saipan, then on Guam and Tinian in the summer of 1944. In Britain, a flamethrower version of the LVT-4 (F) Sea Serpent was developed on the basis of the LVT-4. After the war, the LVT-4 was also in the arsenal of the French Armed Forces, which deployed them in combat operations in Indochina (Vietnam) and during the Suez Crisis.
After the Second World War, as part of the United States-led Military Aid Program (MAP), Norway received around 130 M24 Chaffee light tanks to help rebuild its military. In the early years of the Cold War, the Norwegian Military (Forsvaret, Eng: “The Defence”) was happy with the M24 Chaffee, as it fitted its needs. Its small size made it perfect for operations in the harsh Scandinavian terrain.
The development of heavy self-propelled guns in the Soviet Union began in 9/1931. A program of "self-propelled three-purpose system at the corps level" was developed. It was supposed to be the use of one platform with three artillery systems. Two concepts have emerged. The first was the SU-7, which was to use artillery armament 152 mm cannon, 203 mm howitzer and 305 mm mortar.
