Samokhodnaya Ustanovka SU-152 (Zveraboy)

The SU-152 assault gun first saw action at the battle of Kursk in 1943, where it earned its nickname "Animal Killer" in reference to carri armati tedeschi Tiger, Panther, e Elefant it faced in that battle. The vehicle used the hull e chassis of the carro pesante KV-I.S. Only a few of the 704 SU-152 built during the war were still in operation in 1945, the vehicle had been replaced by the ISU-152 assault gun. The SU-152 was attached to regiments e divisions of the armoured artiglieria, fanteria divisions, ed armoured corps. SU-152s were replaced con ISU-152s beginning in 1944, ed it is not certain that any survived to take part in the Battle for Berlin. The SU-152 was the only major new KV variant at the beginning of 1943 (it was initially designated KV-14).

Carri armati KV-1 were quickly phased out after the battle of Kursk, only the SU-152 distinguished itself at Kursk, where the first heavy assault gun reggimento claimed 12 Tiger tanks, e 7 Ferdinand tank destroyers. Thus the nickname "Animal Killer". The SU-152 was withdrawn from service in 1954.
