43M Zrínyi II in Kubinka Tank Museum, Moscow. The 44M Zrínyi I looked like this but instead mounted the long-barreled 75mm 43M cannon.

The 44M Zrínyi I was a

Second World War. Developed on the basis of the successful 43M Zrínyi II, it was armed with a long 75 mm gun that was more suited to anti-tank warfare.[1][2] This was the same 75 mm 43M gun that was used on the 43M Turán III medium tank
.

The 43M Zrínyi II itself was developed on the chassis of the much less successful 40M Turán medium tank.

The 44M Zrínyi I was fitted with 6 rocket launcher tubes to test out the mounting of German-supplied 15 cm Nebelwerfer 41 rockets. Three launchers were mounted on either side of the rear of the hull around the engine deck.
