The Semovente 10525 was an Italian tank destroyer in use during World War II. It was constructed by mounting a 105 mm gun that was 25 calibres long (hence the name) in a widened chassis from a M1542 tank. 30 were built by Fiat-Ansaldo and delivered in 1943 before the Italian surrender in September that year. After the surrender the German forces took them over and used them under the designation Sturmgesch�tz M43 mit 10525 853(i) and they also built 60 more Semovente 10525s.
