| NOTES |
|---|
|
1Data for T-34 production for 1941 (3014) and 50% of 1942 (12553) represents a rough estimate of the number of vehicles conforming to this configuration. 2Only command vehicles had radios. Later production had the new 9R radios. 3With/without radio equipment. 4Data is for the cast turret introduced early in 1941. Welded turrets of this period probably had the same armor specifications as the original T-34-76 Model 1940. |
