Description
As an apology for last photo's crappy quality, here's another IS-2 that stands in Armament Museum in Poznan Citadel. Note the different frontal armour layout as compared to the IS from Armoured Warfare Museum - this is an early production model with "stairway" frontal armour. This was considered somewhat of a weakspot, to use WoT terminology, and in later models it was changed to fully sloped armour. Sadly, this IS-2 is not going anywhere in the nearest time - it's mostly empty inside, with no engine, transmission etc.
