Artitec 6870376 USSR assault gun ISU-152 winter russian army

Highly detailed, ready built and painted

SU means self propelled gun.

• During the battle of Stalingrad, the sovjet army was sure, that they had to fight against strong german fortifications and new powerful tanks.

• So on January 4th 1943 they ordered an assault gun which had to be developed within 25 days, equipped with a 152 mm M1939 gun.

• The chassis of early models was based on the KW-1 tank while later models were based on the newer Iosef Stalin tanks.

• The ISU-152 was built as a counter weapon against german Panther and Tiger tanks.

• In July 1943 a SU regiment with 12 ISU-152 was used in the battle of Kursk where they destroyed 12 german Tiger and 7 Ferdinand tanks. Afterwards it became known as the "Zwerroboi" (Animal killer).

• By exchanging the 152 mm gun with a 122 mm gun, model 1931-7 the model ISU-122 was created to fight against german tanks on long distances.
