Historical Significance
The JS-2 was introduced in 1944 as a response to heavily armored German tanks like the Panther and Tiger. Armed with a powerful 122mm gun and sloped armor, it was a formidable adversary, capable of withstanding enemy fire and delivering devastating counterstrikes.
The JS-2 played crucial roles in battles such as the Siege of Berlin, where it helped secure Allied victory. Post-war, the tank continued to serve in various conflicts, influencing future Soviet tank designs and solidifying its legacy as one of the most iconic tanks of the 20th century.
