Soviet Tank Production During World War II 1940 - 1945 (Per Year)

Although the Soviet Union had a large force of combat vehicles before the German invasion, heavy losses led to a high demand for new vehicles. Production was complicated by the loss of production facilities in the western part of the Soviet Union, and entire factories were moved east of the Ural Mountains to put them out of reach of the Germans. Figures are up until the first half of 1945 and only include new production. The Soviet Union had 25,664[2] or 25,481[3] armoured fighting vehicles on 1 June 1941 before it entered the war. Not shown here are armoured cars, aerosans, artillery tractors and armoured trains. #ww2
