The Panther is a medium tank conceived by Nazi Germany for use during World War II. Designed to counter Soviet T-34 tanks, it aimed to replace the Panzer III and IV, though this goal was not fully achieved. The tank's design incorporated the sloping armor of the T-34, enhanced its suspension system, and balanced firepower, mobility, and protection effectively. This tank served as a foundation for subsequent tank designs in various nations. Development began in 1941, with the Panther first appearing during the Battle of Kursk, serving until the war's end, and playing a significant role throughout.
