It featured a 128mm Pak 44 L/55 gun, capable of destroying most Allied tanks at long range. The vehicle was heavily armored, with up to 250 mm of frontal protection, and powered by a Maybach HL230 P30 engine producing 700 hp. It had a top speed of 34 km/h and a range of 120 km on roads. Weighing approximately 71.7 tons, the Jagdtiger was highly effective in firepower but faced mobility and mechanical challenges due to its weight.
