Weighing in at more than 50 tons, the monstrous KV-2 was designed to be an assault tank that
would support advancing infantry. Housed in its massive turret was a 152mm main gun that
could take out enemy defensive emplacements like bunkers. Its thick armor was also immune to
attacks from most anti-tank guns of the period. While the design looked formidable on paper, an
underpowered engine, unreliable mechanics, and poor mobility limited its effectiveness in battle.
Nonetheless, it played a role in the defense of Russia during the initial stages of war on the
Eastern Front, and helped hold the line until more modern tanks could be developed.
