What until then seemed to be a merely defensive combat for the Soviet Union, the wear and tear of the German forces is gradually generating a window of opportunity for the Red Army to finally go on the offensive, and to do so, they will need to have as many of their largest artillery pieces on all fronts as quickly as possible to eliminate any heavily protected German defensive positions. The solution? Mount a colossal 152-millimeter cannon on the chassis of a heavy tank to use it as self-propelled artillery, a fairly common concept for the time, but sooner rather than later, the Soviets would realize the potential of this armored vehicle for direct combat against other armored vehicles when in mid-1943 they managed to capture a Tiger I which they decided to face against the colossal cannon that they intended to mount on this new vehicle. The result was the total destruction of the then most powerful armored vehicle of the Third German Empire, and with the end of it, the legend of the ISU-152, better known as the beast killer, was born. Welcome, dear viewers, to a new installment of the mid-week bonus video where we will explore the exciting history of the Zveroboy, a vehicle of gigantic proportions that, as in the case of the Jagdtiger, began its development in the middle of the conflict with the intention of creating a battering ram that was capable of piercing anything that was put in front of it and that ended up playing the role of a tank destroyer due to the outstanding capabilities of its main armament, with the added bonus that unlike its German counterpart, this vehicle was produced in several thousand units and was ready to fight long before the Tiger Hunter. What were the keys to the success of this armored vehicle? How effective was it as a tank destroyer and as self-propelled artillery? We're going to find out right now, as every time, you're accompanied by your host Der Ausländer, and without further ado, let's get started.
