Historical information about the SU-152

The SU-152 was a Soviet self-propelled gun developed during World War II, between 1943–1945. It was mainly used by the Red Army, making its combat debut during the Battle of Kursk in 1943. The vehicle was especially renowned for its versatility – the powerful 152 mm gun allowed for effective destruction of heavy bunkers as well as tanks, including the famous German Tigers. The "late" version was characterized by improvements in armor and structural details, reflecting the evolving needs of the front. The SU-152 was widely used on the Eastern Front until the end of the war, earning the nickname "Tiger Killer."
