KV-1 / KV-2 Heavy Tank

The KV-1 – Soviet Heavy Tank

A 45-ton steel giant, the KV-1 was one of the first heavy tanks deployed by the Soviet Army in World War II. Its thick armor was nearly impervious to German anti-tank weapons in 1941, making it almost unstoppable on the battlefield. However, its limited mobility and inexperienced crews often left it vulnerable to superior German tactics.

The KV-1 could literally crush anything under its massive tracks, forcing enemy positions to be abandoned at the mere sight of it. Armed with a 76.2mm cannon, it could punch through any German armor of the time, solidifying its reputation as a battlefield terror. Though later overshadowed by newer designs, it set the standard for future Soviet heavy tanks.

The KV-2 – Self-Propelled Artillery Gun

Designed to support the KV-1, the KV-2 was a true behemoth, featuring a massive turret and towering at 4 meters (12 feet) tall! Armed with a 152mm howitzer, it specialized in taking out infantry, artillery, and fortified positions.

Despite being slow and cumbersome, the KV-2 could obliterate enemy defenses with just a few well-placed shots. With an operational range of 140 km (87 miles), this bunker-buster left enemy forces cowering, unsure whether they could withstand its relentless bombardment.
