Historical Information and Usage

The barrel model reproduces the armament of the distinctive Soviet heavy tank KV-2, produced and used during World War II. This tank was famous for its powerful 152 mm M-10S howitzer gun, capable of destroying fortifications as well as engaging armored vehicles. The Soviet Red Army used the KV-2 from 1940–1942, including in battles on the Eastern Front against the Wehrmacht. Its firepower was impressive, but the design had some mobility limitations, making it an easy target for German armored forces. Despite this, the KV-2 went down in history as one of the most distinctive Soviet assault tanks.
