ИС-3. Почему Его "Щучий Нос" Быстро Потерял Свою Силу?

The IS-3—a tank that never fired a single shot in World War II, yet forced the entire Western world to rewrite its armored vehicle programs. One parade. Fifty-two vehicles. And panic in headquarters from London to Washington. But behind the triumphant silhouette lurked a different story. A year after being accepted into service, all three thousand vehicles produced were sent off for a complete overhaul. In actual combat in Sinai, crews abandoned serviceable tanks right on the road and fled on foot. And the revolutionary pike nose, copied by the entire global tank industry, is not used by a single tank on the planet today. The reason for this is in this video.
