You know that:

  • Development of the IS-2 tank began in 1943 as a response to the durable German Tiger and Panther machines.
  • 120 mm thick armour and a 122 mm gun with the new 10-T-17 sight made the tank a dangerous opponent.
  • But the first versions of the IS-2 were not without flaws. In fact, the first planned deployment almost never happened. The Guards unit sent to combat positions at Obertin in 1944 never arrived, as all the machines had gearbox failures during the move. The gun's slide brake was not without problems. All the problems were gradually eliminated, and as early as 20 April several tanks joined the battle in the Ivano-Frankivsk area, where they destroyed 41 German tanks in 14 days.
  • The designers solved all the technical difficulties very simply. Everything that didn't work was replaced by a solution copied from German tanks.
  • The real rival for the IS-2 was the German Königstiger, which could destroy a Soviet tank at long range. Such encounters, however, occurred only rarely, such as in 1945 during the Battle of Budapest or the Battle of the Ohře.
  • Very dangerous for IS-2 were German Panzerfaust and Panzerschreck anti-tank small arms with cumulative warhead. To increase protection, Russian tankers installed cages on the turrets made of spring bed frames they captured during the conquest of cities.
  • The range of combat deployment was partly limited by the split ammunition, of which only 28 pieces could fit into the tank.
  • At the very end of the war, the 1st Czechoslovak Tactical Brigade was also equipped with IS-2 tanks, but did not engage in combat with them again.
  • In total, about 3,854 units were produced

From the memoirs of tank commander Alexei Ivanovich Kuznetsov:

"We were in the front line of the attack on Berlin. Our IS-2 tanks were the best we had. They had a powerful gun that could penetrate German bunkers and tanks. We were proud to be fighting for our country. But it was also very dangerous. The Germans had anti-tank weapons, mines and planes. We had to be constantly alert and rely on our comrades. Sometimes we got trapped and had to abandon our tanks and fight on foot. It was hell, but we held on until the end."
