JS-3 Stalin
Heavy Tank

The JS-3, with its 122mm gun, was a successor to the heavy Soviet made tanks that terrorized the German tank crews in WWII. This one was captured from the Egyptian Army during the Six Day War (1967) in the Sinai Peninsula.

JS-3 Stalin Tank
The design of the JS-3 reflected Soviet combat experience gained in WWII. The tank was lower than its predecessors, and the hull and turret armor were more severely sloped to maximize deflection of enemy rounds.
