The 85mm gun of the T-34/85 variant remains highly effective at destroying soft-skinned vehicles, technicals, and reinforced concrete guard posts.

As of 2021, at least nine nations and several non-state actors (including Kurdish militias and Yemeni groups) were still documented as having T-34-85s in their inventory or active use.
