Historical Model – Soviet Heavy Tank JS-2

The JS-2 (Iosif Stalin 2) was one of the most powerful heavy tanks of World War II. Designed and manufactured in the Soviet Union, it entered service in 1944 and was widely used by the Red Army during the liberation of Eastern Europe and in the final operations against the Third Reich. The exceptional combination of the 122 mm D-25T gun and robust armor made the JS-2 a formidable opponent, especially during the battles of Berlin and the Vistula–Oder offensive. After the war, tanks of this type were also included in the arsenals of several countries allied with the USSR.
