It is a fact of war that- where possible- equipment and supplies will be captured and almost certainly be reused against their original owner. This was the case on the Eastern Front during the Second World War; many Soviet and German tanks found their way into opposing armies. Both sides would experiment with replacing the main guns of captured vehicles with domestic models, meaning they wouldn’t need to rely upon captured stockpiles of ammunition. Today we’re going to look at one such example that never made it off the drawing board; the T-V-85, a Panther mounting a Soviet 85mm gun.
