Historical Information and Vehicle Characteristics

The KV-7 (Object 227) was an experimental assault gun developed in the USSR in 1941 as a potential counterpart to German tank destroyers. Its design utilized the chassis of the KV-1 tank, while its armament consisted of two 45 mm guns and one 76 mm gun mounted in a fixed superstructure.

The prototype took part in test drives and experimental work in late 1941 and early 1942.
