The 43M Turán III was a Hungarian medium tank developed during World War II, representing the pinnacle of the Turán tank series. Built on the chassis of the earlier Turán II, the Turán III featured several significant upgrades, including thicker armor and a more powerful 75mm long-barreled gun, the 43M L/43, which was intended to improve its anti-tank capabilities. These enhancements were in response to the increasing threat posed by Soviet T-34 tanks on the Eastern Front. Despite its improvements, only a few prototypes were produced before the war ended, and the Turán III never saw widespread combat use. The tank's development reflects Hungary's efforts to modernize its armored forces during the war, despite limited industrial capacity and resources.
