Historical description of the ISU-122S

The ISU-122S is a modernized version of the ISU-122 self-propelled gun, which entered service with the Red Army in 1944, during World War II. The main modification was the use of the rapid-fire D-25S 122 mm cannon, providing effectiveness against heavy German tanks such as the Tiger and Panther. The ISU-122S served both for infantry fire support and as an effective tank destroyer at medium and long ranges. Vehicles of this type took part in many Soviet offensives, including the liberation of Poland and the Battle of Berlin, and their production continued into the postwar years. In total, over 5,000 ISU-122 and ISU-122S units were produced, remaining in service until the early Cold War period.
