Famous for its enormous size and the gigantic 152mm gun, the Russian KV-2 heavy tank was named after the Soviet defense commissar and politician Kliment Voroshilov. The KV-2, designed as a slow-moving bunker-buster , was built using the same hull and chassis as the KV-1. It was reported that the KV-2 could withstand over forty enemy hits and none penetrated its armor b efore the use of Flak 18s and 36s by the Germans . However, the KV-2 was a victim of its own design because of its large turret which stood out as an easy target for enemy firepower . It was also tremendously heavy and had a high rate of mechanical failure. A total of 334 KV-2s w as produced during the period from 1940 to October 1941.
