Heavy tank IS-2. Killer of "Tigers" and "Panthers"
29.99 €
The IS-2 cannon shell tore off the turrets of Tigers and Panthers, tore apart the embrasures of German pillboxes, and cracked armored caps like nuts. No tank of the Second World War had a more powerful weapon than the Joseph Stalin-2, created in the Urals. A heavy tank the size of an average T-34, with a hull that tightly fits the internal units and an impressive turret with a long-barreled cannon with a massive muzzle brake, it showed itself brilliantly at the final stage of the Great Patriotic War, when the Red Army had to break through numerous defensive ramparts and storm heavily fortified cities. ISs took part in the storming of Koenigsberg, Budapest, Poznan, Danzig, Breslau, their tracks remember the pavements of Vienna, Prague and Berlin well. In the photographs of the defeated capital of the Third Reich, there are almost more IS-2 tanks, which have wound hundreds of kilometers of European roads on their tracks, than T-34s.
The book by the leading historian of armored vehicles tells in detail about the development, design, modifications and combat use of the famous IS-2, as well as the "Zveroboy" - heavy self-propelled guns ISU-122 and ISU-152, created on its basis.
The publication is illustrated with unique drawings and rare photographs.
