The KV-1 and KV-2 tanks formed the backbone of Soviet armored units during the crucial years of the war, while the JS-2 was considered one of the most powerful heavy tanks of the conflict's final stage. These machines stood out for their robust construction, and their tow shackles played a vital role during combat operations and service maneuvers—enabling rapid attachment of tow cables and transportation of damaged vehicles from the battlefield.

The Aber R-18 set contains four precisely made metal tow shackles, serving as a realistic addition to Soviet tank models such as:

• KV-1 – used on the Eastern Front from 1940 (Battle of Moscow, Leningrad, Stalingrad)
• KV-2 – distinctive tank with a howitzer turret, mainly operated in 1941
• IS-2 (JS-2) – introduced in 1944, participated in the Berlin Offensive and battles on Polish territory

The components are made from high-quality metal, ensuring durability and an authentic look of the details. They are dedicated both for easy assembly on existing models and for scratchbuilding projects where a high degree of realism is required.
