Tanks of the Legend: Is-3 and Is-8 (photo from Ukraine)

in #photography6 years ago

IS-3 (Object 703) is a Soviet heavy tank designed for the period of the Great Patriotic War, launched into batch production in its last days and not having time to take part in it. Therefore, this combat vehicle is often considered one of the first post-war Soviet tanks. The abbreviation IP means "Joseph Stalin" - the official name of the series of Soviet heavy tanks of the 1943-1953 edition. Index 3 corresponds to the third serial model of the tank of this family. Due to the characteristic shape of the upper frontal part of the body, it was nicknamed "Pike".

Next is my story:
As for my opinion, this is a very large machine, the thickness of the armor can be understood so much was the desire to make this tank unique among its predecessors, the embodiment of power and metal.
Standing at this monument you can still feel what you can not describe in the photo, it's something else, a photo I made in Ukraine, in the western part. It would not be bad to read your comments and comments.
On photo 2 there will be a very different car, read more about it!
