Examples Panzerfaust and Bazooka. Why did the Soviet’s/Russians in WW2 not adopt hand held anti-tank rocket weapons? They were given examples of the Bazooka in the early years of the war. They certainly had a pressing need for anti-tank weapons and workable tactics for thier use. I would have thought given the powerful ancedotes about the utilty of these weapons in German hands, the Soviets would have lapped this technology and integraeted it into thier fighting styles. They certainly gave a lot of thought and had a lot of occasions to defeat German Armoured attacks/counter atttacks/ counterstrikes.

They were used as single men fire suport, or sometimes whole units armed with those rifles was used to stop massive armored offensive. I remmember pictures were hundreds of people from "norodnoe opolchenie" marching with those huge rifles. Those rifles were 2,000+ mm, calibre 14.5mm. Armour-piercing round had muzzle velocity of 1012m/s. It defeated 40mm armor from distance of 100 meters. It’s effective range was MUCH better than panzerfausts, however they were much bigger and heavier. Soviets never try to rebuild panzerfausts during war, because it would be waist of time and valuble resources. Remember that Soviets work day and night. In order to organized new production, it would need to TAKE resources from other productions, it means hurt your self. Those anti-tank rifles did the job, just like small field arti did. This is the same reason why Soviets never build armored personal carriers. You build armored carriers or T-34, or IL-2. Armoured carrier is luxury at that time. Tanks, fighters, sturmoviks was a nessasaty to survive. Yevgeniy Chizhikov.

Was it just used as a light field gun or did it have an : anti tank role... At the start of the war, of course, it was the primary anti-tank artillery of the Red Army. Of course, over the course of the war and over technology changes, the 45mm became inadequate for front penetration of the front-line German tanks. However, it remained perfectly useful for armored carriers and for bunker busting, and, the most important thing about it was that it was half the weight of the 76mm, and troops could manhandle the thing along the roads with a couple of men (especially assault formations, who tended to retain a lot of off-TOE equipment). It became a support and bunker buster gun, that could still (even late in the war) perform a pinch anti-tank role through skillful employment (flank or rear shots mostly). It was also obscenely cheap to build. Dave G -- Such fragrance - from where, which tree?

However with heavy tanks, it was used to score mobility kills into the runing gear. Nesty job :( However 45mm cannons was still good agaist side or back armour. Also Soviets used tacktics that allow to do damage and destroy tanks fast and even with weak weapons. They concentrate fire of few cannons on a single tanks. It means scoring multiple hits after one sorty, destroing it or score mobility kill, and switching on new target before tank destroy cannons one by one. It was good tacktics specialy when you got weak weapons as 45mm. However at the end of war 45mm mostly used as infantry suport weapon. However 76mm guns such a ZIS-3 and it’s predessasors had been our main weapon. Yevgeniy Chizhikov.

Even the halftracks sent under >lendlease ended up transporting HQ units rather than infantry. Go figure. In WWII halftrack mounted assaults were only marginally less suicidal than truck mounted ones, as most (all) halftracks were vulnerable to MG fire at ranges up to 1000m - the infantry generally got out and walked. Where it did limit the Soviets was in; a) cross country mobility for their infantry units (unless they rode the tanks, another activity with a short life expectancy). b) ability of their motorised infantry to keep up with their armoured units through defensive artillery barrages (the halftracks of the time were quite effective at keeping out shell splinters). They probably viewed the production of armoured vehicles without a large gun to be a useless diversion of the limited industrial resources they had available anyway. The infantry AT weapons is a strange one though - although they did have a very high complement of ATRs, and hand delivered AT weapons (grenades and the like). Of course, after mid ’43, there weren’t many German tanks around to knock out anyway, and the ones that were could be dealt with by the armoured units that were integral to every Soviet formation (at Army Level anyway).

I might venture a guess or two. The Bazooka may not have been rugged enough for Russian purposes, and may have been too much of a "specialists’ weapon". The early U.S. 2.36 inch bazookas during the war were fired by a battery-powered ingnition system (the post-war 3.5in super bazooka, and I believe some of the later war 2.36in bazookas, mounted a generator in the trigger mechanism instead of requiring batteries, as did the German panzerschreck). Batteries, and battery recharging generators, were not likely to be found widely distributed in a Soviet infantry unit TO&E. Also, the bazooka could not be carried around in a loaded state, which complicated its use (specialist crews were required). This may not have fit in with the Soviet style of infantry anti-tank action, which was either infiltration by tank-hunting teams (hard to get it loaded when you’re sneaking around) or defense by massed infantry formations (no specialists, please). The Soviets developed the PG-43 (or was it RP-43?), an anti-tank hand grenade. Thrown in a looping arch, the arming mechanism released a cloth drag tail which was supposed to align the impact-detonated hollow-charge grenade for maximum impact against upper armor surfaces. It must have taken considerable courage to use, but it could be issued "as ammunition" to troops expected to engage armor, so every soldier could become a tank hunter. The Soviets did respect the Panzerfaust greatly. Captured units were collected and re- issued in great numbers. They copied it and built it as the RPG-1, and it seems they may have been in production before the end of the war (Zaloga seems to indicate so in _The Red Army of the Great Patriotic War 1941-45_). I believe that the Panzerfaust was more appropriate than the bazooka to Soviet needs -- it was more rugged, could be issued to common soldiers, and could be carried loaded. Combining the more rugged construction of the recoilless launcher, including the oversized projectile (the panzerfaust), with the Soviet innovation of late-ignition rocket projectiles, lead to the later very successful members of the RPG series. -markasinge@aol.com (aka: Mark A.
