Historical information about the KV-5

The Soviet KV-5 (Object 225) was a heavy tank project from the World War II era (years 1941–1942). The vehicle was designed in response to the demand for ultra-heavy tanks to break through German defensive lines. It was an exceptional project—weighing almost 100 tons, with armor up to 180 mm thick, and planned to be armed with a formidable 107 mm ZIS-6 gun. Despite ambitious plans, technological advance and wartime circumstances halted the vehicle's development during the prototype phase—no production unit ever entered battle, and the KV-5 remains one of the most legendary creations of Soviet engineering of that era.
