History

The iconic IS-2 tank emerged in 1943, representing the successor to earlier heavy tank models in service with the Red Army. It boasted a four-person crew and wielded a formidable 122mm gun capable of penetrating even the armor of Germany's best tanks, such as the Tiger and Panther. The IS-2 played a vital role in the Battle of Berlin, contributing significantly to the ultimate defeat of the Third Reich.

During World War II, the IS-2 stood tall as one of the most potent heavy tanks ever built. Its combination of robust armament, armour, and agility made it a formidable force on the battlefield. Interestingly, the Soviet Union's allies, including Poland and Czechoslovakia, also utilised IS-2 heavy tanks, explaining the presence of their markings on this model.
