Historical Background

The SU-152 was a Soviet self-propelled gun-howitzer created in response to the need for effective destruction of German bunkers and heavy tanks such as the Tiger, Panther, or the tank destroyer Elefant. It was built on the chassis of the KV-1S heavy tank. Officially introduced into service in 1943, it quickly gained fame as an effective "beast killer" (Zveroboy), which earned it respect on the Eastern Front. It took part in key frontline battles, including the Battle of Kursk and the liberation of Eastern Europe in 1943-1945.
