KW-2 is a Soviet heavy tank of the interwar period and the beginning of World War II. The first prototypes of this machine were created in 1940, and in the same year the machine entered service. About 330 cars of this type were produced during the production process. The combat weight of the tank was up to 52 tons. The drive was provided by a single diesel engine with a capacity of up to 600 horsepower. The main armament consisted of a 152-mm M-10 gun and three 7.62-mm DT machine guns. The KW-2 machine was developed as a development of the KW-1 tank, and its production was carried out by the Kirov Leningrad Plant. The machine was created as a result of the experience of the Winter War (1939-1940), and its main task was to destroy the enemy's fortified points of resistance and support its own infantry in the offensive, and not to fight with tanks. For this reason, it is safe to say that the KW-2 was essentially a self-propelled gun and not a purely sensor tank. Despite the powerful weapons and armor, the KW-2 machines had a large number of defects, especially in the transmission, which actually reduced their combat value. Machines of this type were used mainly at the initial stage of the German-Soviet war in 1941, although some of them served until 1945.
