The T-60 was too thin, too slow, and armed with a 20mm cannon that couldn't scratch a Panzer III. The solution was the \u003cstrong\u003eT-70\u003c\/strong\u003e — still light, still a two-man crew (the driver also had to operate the engine), but now armed with a \u003cstrong\u003e45mm gun\u003c\/strong\u003e that could at least fight back and armored well enough to stop small-arms fire and shell fragments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWas it a match for a Panzer IV?

It screened the flanks of the T-34 formations during Kursk. It rolled through gaps in the line that medium tanks couldn't reach. It was cheap, it was fast, and the Soviets built over \u003cstrong\u003e8,200 of them\u003c\/strong\u003e. When a T-70 crew knocked out a Tiger at Kursk — and it happened — it became the kind of story that spread through the entire Red Army overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe T-70 didn't win the war.
