The IS-3 is a Soviet heavy tank from the end of World War II and the Cold War. The first prototypes of this vehicle were made in 1944, and the production of the vehicle was carried out in the years 1945-1946 or 1947. In such a short time as many as 2300 vehicles of this type were produced! The combat weight of the tank was up to 46.5 tons. The transmission was provided by a single diesel engine with a power of up to 600 hp. The main armament consisted of the 122 mm D-25T cannon and 2 machine guns: 1 x 12.7 mm DSzK rifle and 1 x 7.62 mm DT rifle. The IS-3 vehicle was developed as a far-reaching development of the IS-2 tank. On the one hand, it borrowed its main armament, as well as many mechanical components. On the other hand, it has a completely different shape of the front of the vehicle, as well as a completely new turret with significantly improved resistance to anti-tank fire. Vehicles of this type have aroused a lot of interest from Western experts, who considered them a potentially very dangerous weapon. It is worth adding that during the Cold War, IS-3 tanks underwent several modernizations, during which, among other things, more modern radio stations were used, the hull structure was strengthened, or night vision observation devices were introduced. IS-3 vehicles were exported to several countries, including Czechoslovakia, Egypt, and Poland. They were used in combat mainly during the Six-Day War in 1967.
