The Russian KV-2 heavy tank was famous for its enormous size and the gigantic 152mm gun. It was named after the Soviet defense commissar and politician Kliment Voroshilov. The KV-2, designed as a slow-moving bunker-buster, was built using the same hull and chassis as the KV-1. It was reported that the KV-2 could withstand over forty enemy hits and none penetrated its armor before the use of Flak 18s and 36s by the Germans. However, the KV-2 was a victim of its own design because of its large turret which stood out as an east target for enemy firepower. It was also tremendously heavy and had a high rate of mechanical failure. A total of 334 KV-2s was produced during the period from 1940 to October 1941. T
