KV-122 Heavy Tank

Named after a marshall of the Soviet Union - Klementy Voroshilov - the KV heavy tank was the third in a trio of designs in 1938 for a replacement for the T-35. The KV-122 was built in the second half of 1943. The design was essentially an upgunned KV-85 with the 85mm gun replaced with a D-25T 122mm gun. This D-25T gun was later installed in most JS-2s. KV-122s fought in the 62nd Guards Tank Regiment of the 8th Guards Armoured Corps.
