The IS-2 tank was developed in 1943 as a successor to earlier models of heavy tanks serving in the Red Army. His crew consisted of 4 people. The main armament was a 122mm gun that could penetrate the armor of the best German tanks like the Tiger and Panther. The IS-2 played an important role in the Battle of Berlin, where it contributed to the final defeat of the Third Reich.

The IS-2 was one of the most powerful heavy tanks of World War II. Its combination of strong armament, armor and maneuverability made it an extremely formidable opponent on the battlefield. IS-2 heavy tanks were also used by allied armies of the Soviet Union. Therefore, Polish and Czechoslovak markings on this tank were not surprising.
