ISU-152 — Soviet Self-Propelled Gun

History

The ISU-152 was a Soviet self-propelled gun used during World War II. It used the same concept as the earlier SU-152: a large gun placed on the hull of a heavy tank. The ISU-152 used the same gun as the SU-152, but on the hull of an IS-1 tank instead of a KV-1.

Variants

Some ISU-152 were fitted with a 12.7 mm DShK anti-aircraft machine gun.

Combat History

The ISU-152 proved to be a very effective infantry support vehicle on the Eastern Front.
