# Sd.Kfz.234/4 Pak Puma

Role
: Tank Destroyer

## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/sdkfz2344-pak-puma.md#general-information)

Description
: The **Sd.Kfz.234/4 Pak Puma** is a wheeled Tank Destroyer based on the 8-rad Puma chassis, mounting the **7.5 cm PaK 40 L/46** in an open-topped fighting compartment for hit-and-run anti-tank work. A small number saw service in the closing stages of the Second World War. Weighing 11.7 tonnes, it is crewed by four: driver, gunner, commander, and loader. The **Tatra 103** diesel produces 211 hp for 18 hp/t and 90 km/h in both directions. The main gun fires PzGr 40, PzGr 39, and Sprgr. 34; the commander has a **7.62 Beretta MG42/59** for anti-air and local defence. The gunner uses a 3x telescope with no rangefinder or stabilizer. Light armour and high speed define the PaKWagen as an ambush and flank vehicle rather than a frontline tank killer.
