Historical background of the vehicle

The KV-1 heavy tank (Rus. КВ-1) was the main heavy tank of the Red Army in the early phase of World War II. It was designed in the USSR at the end of the 1930s and played a crucial role in the first years of the conflict – particularly during the defense of the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1943. The KV-1 became famous for its exceptionally thick armor, which in the early years of the war was virtually impenetrable to German anti-tank weapons. The tank saw action during Operation Barbarossa, the Battle of Moscow, and the fighting around Leningrad, among others.
