Historical Overview

The KV-1 heavy tank was one of the most famous armored vehicles of the Red Army during World War II. It was widely used from the beginning of the conflict in 1941 until the middle of the war, especially on the Eastern Front.

These tanks took part in the defense of Leningrad, the battles of the Kursk Salient, and many other key engagements. Their thick armor and powerful armament made them extremely formidable opponents for German armored units.
