- Country: Soviet Union (USSR)
- Country: Soviet Union (USSR)
Entered service: 1944
Type: Heavy tank
Main gun: 122 mm D-25T cannon
Crew: 4
Armor: Up to about 120 mm on the front, with a sloped hull that improved protection.
The IS-2 was designed to:
Defeat German heavy tanks like the Tiger I and Tiger II.
Destroy bunkers and fortified positions during offensives.
Support Soviet advances into Germany in the final stages of the war.
The 122 mm gun could penetrate the armor of most German tanks at combat ranges, though it had a relatively slow rate of fire because of its large, two-piece ammunition.
The IS-2 played an important role in major battles in 1944–1945, including the Soviet advance through Eastern Europe and the Battle of Berlin. After World War II, it remained in service in several countries for many years.
