The ZiS-30 tank destroyer was a stop-gap design for the Red Army beginning in 1941.
A cheap vehicle that repelled Hitlers steam roller.
During the Soviet response of 1941, there emerged some interim designs quickly fabricated by Soviet industry to help counter the Axis gains. One such development was completed by Gorky Plant No. 92 to which the proven ZiS-2 series anti-tank gun was mated to the chassis of the Komsomolets artillery tractor to create a pseudo-self-propelled gun tracked solution for the Red Army.
A tank destroyer that should cost little due to its lack of armor and firepower.
