Historical background:

The JS-7 (IS-7) was a Soviet super-heavy tank developed at the end of World War II and during the early postwar period, that is, at the beginning of the Cold War. Although it never entered mass production, it represented a technologically advanced experiment in armored vehicle design. Armed with the powerful 130 mm C-70 gun, it could have threatened even the heaviest enemy tanks. Only a few prototypes of this vehicle were built (1946–1948), used mainly for testing. The JS-7 was used exclusively by the USSR.
