In the spring of 1943German Forces experienced a major defeat in the battle of Stalingrad, the Hungarian people who had built and produced the 1 and 2 series "Turan" medium tank was not up to facing the Soviet armored forces on the battlefield. In addition to gaining limited help from Germany, they urgently needed to improve and upgrade their existing equipment. "Turan" 3 medium tank in this context is the improvement. It is equipped with a German Kwk40 type 75 mm tank gun (Hungary named 75mm 43M/L55), carrying 32 shells. The gun fires a shell at the speed of 770 M / s and can pierce a 76 millimeter steel plate at a 60 degree angle at a distance of 500 meters. In order to carry this gun, the Hungarians designed new turret at the rear with an additional cupola. "Turan" 3 tank has increased the armor thickness over the whole vehicle, the front side of the vehicle body and the gun shield reached 75 mm, 35 mm in the body side; additional armor on both sides of the turret and hull by 8 mm. Similar to the former two, the vehicle's power system is still a WM V-8H engine, and its maximum speed went down to 39 km, due to a large increase in body weight. In February 1944, the Wizz Manfred company completed the first "Turan"3 tank. The mass production of the tank was never begun because of the shortage of materials, lack of manpower, the invasion of the Hungary and the Allied air strikes. The only model was unidentified in the war.
