The Joseph Stalin JS-2 was developed in February 1943 to replace outdated KV tanks in the Red Army's armored divisions. It was a critical development to counteract the heavy armored German vehicles like the Tiger and Panther tanks. Equipped with a powerful 122 mm cannon mounted on a centrally positioned turret, the JS-2 featured a cast steel hull, heavy armor, and a robust 12-cylinder diesel engine exceeding 600 horsepower. With a total mass of 46 tons, this beast of a tank was utilized in battles leading to the liberation of Ukraine, operations in Hungary, and ultimately the battle for Berlin in the final phase of the conflict. It stood as one of the Soviet Union's most powerful tanks during World War II.
