The Russian Tank that was too much for the Germans
The Russian Heavy Tank JS-2 was built to overthrow the German Tiger I. Put into production in the latter half of WWII in December 1943, it had a long, powerful 122mm gun and superior mobility. From August 1944, the upper part of the hatch was removed from the hull, which greatly improved its survivability. The JS-2 was produced in the Chelyabinsk Kirov factory (ChKZ), and a characteristic of the tank is its one-piece cast rounded front. The JS-2 showed great strength in the breakthrough of defensive positions, but also in anti-tank battles. The Russian tank JS-2 played a major part in the victory at the end of the Great War.
