The KSP-76 was a Soviet Armed Forces assault car that began development in 1943. It mounted a 76 mm divisional gun M1942 (ZiS-3) gun on a wheeled chassis in an attempt to provide support for scout and airborne units. The light chassis proved unable to withstand repeated firings of the gun and the project never got beyond the prototype stage.
Description
The KSP-76 had a crew of three. It consisted of a commander/gunner, gunner/loader, and driver. The hull was divided into three parts. The gun was mounted at the front, the fighting compartment was located at the middle, and the engine was found in the rear. The fuel tank, which had a capacity of 140 liters, was placed to the left of the engine. Fifty four rounds of 76.2mm ammunition were provided.
