These upgrades included the removal of low-quality elements, the clearing of excess details, and the addition of self-made details to enhance the tank's reliability and performance. The JS-2M continued to be an operational sample of armored equipment in the Soviet army until 1995, with a significant number established as long-term weapon emplacements along the border with China. These tanks were used in parks and could be moved forward in specially constructed tank entrenchments when necessary. The JS-2M's legacy as a technically reliable and simple fighting vehicle remains notable in the history of Soviet heavy tanks.
