Historical Description

The KV-2 tank, created as infantry support and for destroying fortifications, became famous for its massive silhouette and powerful armament – the 152 mm M-10 howitzer. Designed on the basis of the KV-1 tank, the KV-2 served in attacks on fortified German positions during the fighting on the Eastern Front. It featured armor resistant to most German anti-tank guns in 1941. Its main use was during the early period of World War II, especially during the German invasion of the USSR — Operation Barbarossa.
