The GAZ-67 and GAZ-67B were integral to the Soviet military's operations during World War II. They were used by the Red Army and played a significant role in the Korean War and the Indochina War.

The JS-2's military history is marked by its effectiveness in combat against German Panther tanks, showcasing its capabilities and the legacy it left behind. Its design and performance set a precedent for Soviet tank development doctrine for decades to come.

In 1957 the Soviets upgraded the pre-existing IS-2 tanks (although received IS-2M index only in 1960) with new hull sides with integrated stowage boxes, T-10M tracks and roadwheels, machine gun in turret rear replaced by ventilation fan and many other minor technical improvements.

The KV-2, also known as the Kliment Voroshilov heavy tank, was developed during World War II as a heavy tank designed to provide heavy firepower and strong armor support for infantry and other tanks.

The development of the KV-122 was driven by the evolution of threats on the Eastern Front: after the Battle of Kursk, German tank divisions received King Tigers with frontal armor up to 180 mm thick, making the KV-85's 85 mm guns ineffective at ranges beyond 500 meters.
