The IS-2 (Iosif Stalin 2, JS-2) tank was a development of the Soviet heavy tank family that played a key role in the last years of World War II. Equipped with a powerful 122 mm cannon, it was an effective answer to German Tigers and Panthers, allowing Soviet forces to launch assaults on heavily fortified positions.
