Anybody know how many SU100's (with their excellent AT gun) were put into service against the Germans?

"Russian Tanks of World War 2: Stalin's Armored Might" says in 1944 500 were produced and in 1945 1,175, so a total of 1675 units.

The only reason why the Su-100 and T-44 didn't see more service was due the the difficulty in of manufacturing and obtaining 100mm shells

1675 is more than all the Jagdtigers, Elephanten, Jagdpanthers together and more or less the same number as theJagdpanzer IV.

The Soviets also have their long barrelled SU 122 ...... and the grizly bears: the (I)SU 152.
Both also produced in large numbers I believe.

Then there was also the outstanding SU85!!!
