The IS-3 (also known as Object 703) is a Soviet heavy tank developed in late 1944. Its semi-hemispherical cast turret (resembling that of an upturned soup bowl) became the hallmark of post-war Soviet tanks. Its pike nose design would also be mirrored by other tanks of the IS tank family such as the IS-7 and T-10. Produced too late to see combat in World War II, the IS-3 participated in the Berlin Victory Parade of 1945, the Soviet invasion of Hungary, the Six-Day War, Yom Kippur War, and one was used during the early stages of the Russo-Ukrainian War.

They got their tank design down early and have stuck with it.

For its day, this tank was probably the most heavily armored tank in the world. It arrived in Germany just weeks too late to take part in the last push against the Wehrmacht. But the Soviets did put a number of them in the Allied victory parade through Berlin. This was the first time the Americans, French, and British got to see the IS-3. Needless to say, its sent shockwaves through the Western alliance.
