A rocket launcher version was also tested in the early development phase. These included a 122 or 150 mm self-propelled howitzer version, an anti-aircraft vehicle and a command vehicle armed with machine guns and a flamethrower (see Variants section). Thus, apart from the main tank destroyer variant, other versions were also planned. It is credited with having inspired the German Hetzer's design, according to multiple German military staff.Ī total of 1,000 vehicles were planned for production, which was to make the Mareșal the backbone of the Romanian armored forces, making it the country's most numerous armored fighting vehicle by far. Romania was a member of the Axis powers and created the vehicle in response to the Soviet T-34 and KV-1 tanks. The Mareșal (meaning " marshal"), also known as the M-tank, was a Romanian-produced light tank destroyer from World War II.
