Historical Description

The KV-5 is a Soviet super-heavy tank designed in 1941 by the Kirov Plant in Leningrad. It was conceived as a response to the appearance of German Tiger tanks. The KV-5 featured gigantic armor—frontal armor up to 180 mm thick and a turret weighing over 16 tons. It was planned to be armed with a 107 mm ZIS-6 gun. The tank was an experimental project and was never put into serial production nor did it see combat—the construction was halted with the evacuation of the factory before the Siege of Leningrad.
