Widely used from 1940 until the end of World War II, it served as an anti-aircraft weapon, infantry support, and armament for tanks and armored guns. The DShK was mounted on heavy tanks such as the JS-2, JS-3, and self-propelled guns like the JSU-152, participating in the storming of Berlin and battles on the Eastern Front.
