The Syaran 75 mm anti-tank gun was an Anti-tank gun built by the Republic of Syara and fielded extensively during the Siduri War.

Based on the Syaran 75 mm field gun, the anti-tank design was developed in the years after the Divide War. The Army of the Syaran Republic was concerned that their existing compliment of 47mm, 37mm, and 25mm anti-tank guns would not be sufficient for dealing with the heavy tank designs that were being planned by several major powers in Tyran. It was introduced in small numbers prior to the invasion of Ruvelka and was the only Syaran anti-tank gun capable of penetrating the Kristóf Barta Heavy Tank. Experience in Ruvelka led the Syarans to expand their demand for the 75mm guns, which saw extensive service on the Quenminese, Tennaiite, and Mansuri fronts.

Crewed by six soldiers, the 75 mm was capable of penetrating the armor of most Common Axis tanks, leading Syaran soldiers to nickname it the шоу стопер, or "show stopper". The 75 mm remained in Syara's aresenal after the Treaty of Debrecen, and a few found their way into service during the Eracuran War.
