SU071 M4 Lend Lease Sherman Price: £7.50 Flames of War Miniature by Battlefront The diesel-powered M4A2 Sherman was sent to the Soviet Union under the Lend-Lease program. The Soviets received 4102 M4A2 Shermans, both with the 75mm (2007) and 76mm cannon (2095), but didn't receive any 76mm armed vehicles until after Operation Bagration. The M4 was nicknamed 'Emcha' by Soviet troops. Emcha came from "Em" for M and "cha" because the English "4" looked like a Russian letter "cha". The Soviets preferred the diesel Shermans as their Soviet built tanks were also diesel-powered. Consequently, they were the second largest user (after Britain) of the diesel M4A2 Sherman with 75mm gun and the largest user of the M4A2 with 76mm gun. M4A2 accounted for nearly all Soviet Shermans.
