The Last Breath of the IS-6 | The Improved Object 252 or ‘Object 252U’ feat.

In the later years of the Second World War (‘The Great Patriotic War’ to the Soviets), there was a quest to develop a replacement for the IS-2 heavy tank. The development process resulted in the IS-6 (Object 252/Object 253) and IS-4 (Object 701). This program was as secret as it was ambitious, with two rival factories working on their designs in absolute secrecy in fear of leaking information to one another.
On paper, the IS-6 seemed superior to any Panzer in Germany’s arsenal at the time. However, due to its mechanical issues and overall poor performance, it lost to its competitor, the IS-4, which would go on to enter service in 1946. Despite this, a last ditch effort to revamp the IS-6 was made, with limited success. This renewed vehicle would become known as the Object 252 November improvement - more commonly known as the Object 252U.

Ah, the Defender. A tank where the WoT player's PTSD came from.

[@tanostrelok2323]

Honestly, I'd rather face defenders all day than Cancer Gs and 130s.

Also, can you disscuss the Russian unmaned turreted MBT from the Soviet tank project from 1970's to the modern Armata?

ChTZ is spelled Ch-T-Z (for Chelyabinskiy Traktornyy Zavod), and not C-H-T-Z. Same is true for DShK, it's D-Sh-K (Degtyaryova-Shpagina Krupnokaliberny) insted of D-S-H-K.
On the other hand it's a nice, informative video on an obscure subject. Keep it up the good work!

[@Sseltraeh89]

Yeah, i always cringe when somebody pronounces the acronyms as they are written in english, not realising "Sh" is single character in russian cirillic signifying the sound.
Same goes for the PPSh, where even Gun Jesus himself pronounced it as the "Pee Pee Es Age" instead of "Pee Pee Esh"
