Details
The JS tanks were named after Joseph Stalin. The JS-2 had a 122mm D-25T main gun
and 6 road wheels to improve soft ground track performance. In 1944 new specifications
included new armour tempering, a 60-degree glacis replaced the 30-degree and the
driver’s front hatch was removed. Also a relocated wider porthole, improved mantlet,
increased lower hull side armor and a new periscope sight. The commander’s cupola
moved to the left and a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun attached. In 1944 2,250 JS-2’s
were produced and no further improvements were made until 1954.
The JS-2 not only served with the Red Army during WWII but 71 were delivered to the
Polish Army. These were distributed between the 4th and 5th Heavy Tank Regiments.
The JS-2 model 1944 was designed as a breakthrough tank with a faster-loading D25-T
122mm gun, a simpler hull front and a wider mantlet. The Poles were successful during
battles in Pomerania, the retaking of Poland and the battle for Berlin. At the end of WWII
there were 26 JS-2s left and 21 of these were returned to the Soviets.
