Historical description

The Soviet heavy tank IS-2 (Iosif Stalin 2) was equipped with a powerful 122 mm D-25T gun, considered one of the most effective tank guns of World War II. IS-2 tanks played a key role in breaking through strongly fortified German positions during the final phase of WWII, especially in the battles for Berlin and the crossing of the Oder and Vistula rivers. Produced in the USSR between 1944–1945, the IS-2 was also used in the postwar period by various armies of allied and Eastern Bloc countries.
