Russian Su-152 Tank Destroyer

The Soviet SU-152 mounted a powerful 152mm gun-howitzer on a heavy tracked chassis derived from the KV tank. Developed rapidly during the Second World War, it provided assault artillery for attacking fortified positions and could also threaten heavy enemy armor. Its fixed superstructure sacrificed turret flexibility for room to carry the large weapon. The SU-152 should be distinguished from the later ISU-152, which used a different heavy-tank chassis. The weapon used the KV-1S heavy-tank chassis with a fixed armored compartment in place of the turret. Its large projectile could damage fortifications and threaten heavy armor even when specialized tank-killing characteristics were limited. Production gave way to the ISU-152 as Soviet heavy-tank chassis manufacture changed.
