Rhino tank | Germany

The Nashorn (officially known as the Panzerjäger Hornisse/Nashorn) was a German tank destroyer vehicle of the Second World War, equipped with the powerful 8.8 cm PaK 43 cannon. It was specifically designed to engage enemy tanks at long range and was used primarily on the Eastern Front, but was also used in Italy and Western Europe. Its outstanding firepower made it a fearsome opponent on the battlefield, although its relatively thin armor made it vulnerable to enemy fire.
