IS-3, or Object 703. Heavy Soviet tank.

Greeting

(What should I write? Well, let's say: World War II. 1943. A powerful base of German infantry and Romanian cavalry was organized in the Krymsk area. About a thousand military aircraft were on combat readiness at the airfields of Crimea and the Taman Peninsula. On September 1943, by order of Hitler, the occupiers began to retreat from the territory of Kuban. The troops withdrew for more than a month - until October 9. Soviet troops prevented this, but the Germans managed to evacuate through the Kerch Strait to the Perekop Isthmus of Crimea. The Germans will arrive any minute. You are a tank commander (or, if you prefer, a loader, gunner, driver, or OS, in short, as you wish). The IS-3 stood in the bushes, the crew is waiting for the arrival of the Germans.
