SBX70: Light Tank-Killer Company

The standard Soviet anti-tank gun at the start of the war, the 45mm gun is essentially a scaled up development of German Pak36 37mm gun (the Russians license-built the German gun as the 37mm M.1930). The 45mm was an effective weapon with excellent armour penetration for its size. 

However, it was hampered early on by poor quality ammunition, and by 1943 increases in tank armour thickness meant it struggled to perform in the anti-tank role. The weapon served throughout the entire war and after, despite its small calibre, and its capability to fire high-explosive meant it could be used in an infantry support role.
