The Jagdpanther (Sd.Kfz. 173) was a tank destroyer built in Germany during World War II.
It combined the 8.8 cm Pak 43 anti-tank gun with the chassis of the Panther main battle tank.
It was armed with the same long-barreled 8.8 cm gun as the Tiger II and a 7.92 mm machine gun in the hull (front glacis plate).
A powerful engine gave it a good power-to-weight ratio.
This meant that the Jagdpanther performed well on the battlefield. Its low profile made it easy to camouflage.
All of this made the Jagdpanther widely and rightly feared, it excelled especially in defensive positions.
Based on the existing Panther chassis, it did not have too many mechanical problems.
About 400 were produced in 1944 and 1945.
