- Mark I Valentine SP 17pdr Archer tank destroyer (Used by 7th anti-tank artillery regiment of 2nd Polish Corp in Italy, 1944)
- SU-76 (SU-76 was one of the main tank destroyers of Polish units in Soviet army and later of the Ludowe Wojsko Polskie (LWP, or People's Army of Poland) which was army of the Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa (PRL, or People's Republic of Poland))
- SU-100 (Polish Army received two SU-100s during World War II from the Soviets. More were delivered after the war. The Poles used these self-propelled guns into the late 50s. Some of them were rebuilt into engineering vehicles. One SU-100 is on exhibition in NATO Officer Armor School at Poznań in Poland.)
- SU-57 (also known as T48) (One of the least known American tank destroyers. Armed with a 57 mm main gun, this halftrack was not produced in series for the USA (hence it's "T" designation). GMC did produce the vehicle for the British. By the time it entered service, the main gun was found wanting. Instead, the 650 vehicles were shipped to the USSR, who at the time wanted anything they could get. A small number found their way into the Polish People's Army in 1945. One of them is currently at the Polish Army Museum in Warsaw.)
- SU-85 (Polish received SU-85 number 324 built in Factory no.402221 Swierdlovsk and used in the 13th Polish Artillery Regiment. This vehicle was used during battles in Czechoslovakia in 1945. This SU85's wartime kill record was: 2 tanks, 14 cannons, 16 mortars and 114 trucks - impressive!)

Famous quotes containing the word destroyers:
“Armies, though always the supporters and tools of absolute power for the time being, are always the destroyers of it too; by frequently changing the hands in which they think proper to lodge it.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
