Historical Information

The IS-3 Stalin heavy tank was a product of Soviet engineering at the end of World War II. Its characteristic silhouette, with a rounded turret and distinctive "broken" sloped frontal armor, became an icon for later armored designs. Although the IS-3 was introduced into service too late to participate in combat actions during World War II, it played an important role during the Victory Parade in Berlin in 1945, demonstrating the power of the USSR and deterring potential adversaries at the dawn of the Cold War. The IS-3 served in the Soviet and allied armies in the post-war period, up until the 1970s.
