The [b]Jagdpanzer IV[/b], or [b]Sd.Kfz. 162[/b], was a German [[World War II]] [[tank destroyer]] based on the [b][[panzer_iv|Panzerkampfwagen IV]][/b] chassis and built in three main variants.  

The Jagdpanzer IV was made to replace the [[sturmgeschutz_iii|Stug III]] as the war progressed. But there were arguments they there was a waste of Panzer IV chassis since Stug IIIs could preform their task more than adequately. Either way the Jagdpanzer IV was still produced, a total of around 2,000 of them were manufactured in total.
