The photo shows a T-34-100, armed with a BS-3 field gun of Czechoslovak origin, photographed in Israel.
The T-34-100, had the BS-3 gun mounted in a fully rotatable armoured turret, but using only the lower and rear part of the original turret. A rectangular hole was cut into the original rear to allow the rear of the upper receiver to pass through, and the receiver's cradle pin bearing brackets were welded to the outside in front of this hole. This construction was supplemented by a welded superstructure made of armour plates, its top and ceiling plates being hinged on massive hinges to facilitate the work of the gunners. This hinged arrangement also improved ventilation. A second, massive, slightly sloping superstructure was welded in place of the original tower's bow, with the upper plates continuing the previous one. Here was the vehicle commander's station, communications equipment, antenna outlet in the ceiling and ammunition firing diameter. This part was accessible from the combat, from the operator's point of view, front part of the turret and hatches in the ceiling armour.
