Additional Comments: Description The 85 mm auxiliary-propelled field gun SD-44 was designed by the F F Petrov design bureau. It is basically the 85 mm Divisional Gun D-44 fitted with an auxiliary propulsion unit: an M-72 two-cylinder petrol engine which develops 14 hp and gives a maximum road speed of 25 km/h. Fuel is carried in one of the trails. The engine is mounted on the left trail and ready use ammunition is carried in the right one. The engine provides power to the two rubber-tyred carriage wheels via a drive shaft and a differential. The conventional steering wheel and steering column are attached to a castor just behind the spades. The lunette is retained enabling the weapon to be towed if required, maximum towing speed is 60 km/h. A two-part folded rammer is mounted vertically on either side of the front of the shield. An infra-red night vision device can be fitted if required. The SD-44 has sometimes been incorrectly called the D-48.
