History and use of the KV-II tank

The KV-II (rus. КВ-2) was a Soviet heavy tank mainly used during World War II. It was designed as infantry support with the aim of breaching German and Finnish fortifications. It was distinguished by its enormous twenty-ton turret armed with a powerful 152 mm M-10T cannon and a massive silhouette, ensuring high resistance to enemy fire.

The KV-II was used by the Red Army mainly during Germany's invasion of the USSR in 1941, as well as during the defense of Leningrad and fighting on the Eastern Front. It posed a serious challenge for unprepared German armoured units, as confirmed by numerous reports from the early stage of the war. Due to its weight and large size, it had limited mobility, but its armour was highly respected.
