- The Soviet heavy tank JS-2 was developed to defeat the German Tiger I from the front.
- Equipped with a powerful long-barreled 122mm gun, heavy armor up to 120mm, and excellent mobility, production began in December 1943 during the latter half of World War II.
- From August 1944, major improvements were made to the vehicle, such as removing the hatches and steps on the upper front of the hull to improve its defensive capabilities.
- Vehicles produced at the Chelyabinsk Kirov Plant (ChKZ) are characterised by a rounded, one-piece cast front hull.
- The JS-2 is extremely effective not only in anti-tank combat but also in breaking through defensive lines.
- It contributed to the victory as the Soviet main battle tank towards the end of the war.
