ИС-2 — оружие победы от которого дрожали руки у всех немецких танкистов до конца войны!

After Kursk, it became clear: Tigers and Panthers could penetrate Soviet tanks from a kilometer away. A response was needed. The IS-2's 122mm shell, weighing 25 kg, couldn't penetrate the Tiger's armor; it tore it away. The turret ring was gone, metal flew off, the crew was killed. 122mm versus the Tiger's 88mm. German tank crews wrote the same thing in their reports: if they encountered an IS-2, retreat immediately. From a distance of over a kilometer, the IS-2 was guaranteed to hit the Tiger head-on. 3,385 vehicles. The assault on Berlin in April 1945. It was the IS-2s that were the first to penetrate the German fortifications.
