The [b]Kliment Voroshilov Model Two (KV-2)[/b] [[tank]] was an early [[World War II]] [[Soviet]] heavy tank that shared the same chassis with the earlier [[KV-1]] with the exception of a large turret housing the very powerful M10 howitzer. 

It saw limited action in the early stages of the war, one notable event being a lone KV-2 that pinned the lead elements of the German advance for a day.

This heavy tank was feared among the Germans for its very powerful armament combined with a very thick and resistant armor. It was known to be able to destroy even the heavier German tanks with a single salvo from its cannon, and could also withstand several shots from the enemies most powerful guns.

Its main flaws were low mobility and a very high profile due to its unusually tall and heavy turret, designed to house the howitzer. As well as slow reload time.

Due to its unique characteristics, the KV-2 has gained popularity among the tank enthusiastists, especially after its inclusion in various video games, such as [[World of Tanks]] and [[War Thunder]].
