The SU-76 SPG was developed on the chassis of the T-70 light tank by the construction bureau at Zavod No38 in late 1942 as a result of a requirement to produce a light SPG armed with the 76.2mm ZiS-3 dual purpose field gun. Both GAZ and Zavod No 38 worked on developing SU-76 prototypes, the GAZ prototype being developed as the GAZ-71 and the Zavod No38 prototype being developed under the prototype designation SU-12 uder the direction of M.I. Shikina. The latter was accepted for service as the SU-15 or SU-76 SPG and series production commenced in early 1943.
The original SU-15 (SU 76) was fitted with parallel mounted GAZ-202 engines and exhaust systems on both sides of the hull was produced in limited numbers (360 in total) before being replaced in production by the later SU-15M (SU 76M) which had up-rated tandem mounted GAZ-203 engines with the exhaust system on the right side of the vehicle. After the T-34 series, the SU-76 was the most numerous Russian AFV of the “Great Patriotic War” with a total of 13, 932 produced. The SU-76M can de divided into early and late production models, the early SU-15M (SU-76M) having the heavily chamfered rear fighting compartment, the later having the full height fighting compartment with small corner chamfer. The Russians did not distinguish between the different superstructure types.
Although derided by its crews due mainly to its thin armour and lack of overhead protection from shellfire and the elements it was a highly successful close-support weapon. Though its 76.2mm ZIS-3 gun became increasingly ineffective in the later war years the vehicle was used until the end of the war and also saw extensive service in the Korean War, where several of the SU-76’s located in the west were obtained.
Many prototypes were developed on the SU-76 chassis, including the ZSU-37, the SU-15, SU-16 and SU-38, the GAZ-71 and GAZ-74.
