Inside Heavy Tank • IS-2 

If anything regards continuing RU-vid that I'm saying in this video doesn't make sense, this is recorded in October 16th, 2022. Way before I created this - New Enlisted channel.

i love how bro completely forgot about his GF as soon as the camera got inside the tank

Lmao. Bro, in the southern US, this thing would be the most massive wasp nest. We don't often have abandoned tanks out here, but any abandoned piece of heavy machinery gets infested with wasps or something.

it hurts me to see ww2 tanks out side and not under cover we must save them.

To be honest, it's not really an IS-2, but an IS-2M. This can be seen in the boxes on the sides, mudguards and some other little things.

Ooh i was wondering : Why does NOT look like IS-2 i know. It is actualy IS-2M ! That one is from 50's ! You dont see those too much.

I think this is a IS-2 model 1944 which was modernized in the 1950's into the IS-2M. These were one of the most reliable heavy tanks that they made and as such these were keeped in service until the early 1980's. After that these tanks remained in reserve quite a short time, because in 1995 the Russians removed them from reserve and turned some of them into museum pieces, military memorials, but sadly most of then were turned into scrap metal. Interestingly the South Ossetian Army still had some IS-2's in service until 1995 and it's possible that in North Korea there are still some of them in reserve.

That was fun, props to your GF for her filming skills and for your enthusiastic presentation!

Not as roomy as I'd imagined, but still spacious compared to t-34. thanks!

Awesome! I went inside a B-17 and B-25 last week, it was super cool. You should totally make more videos visiting WW2 vehicles and sites. I assume that M3 Lee was lend lease to the Soviets, you’re somewhere in Europe right?

Fair do, i wouldn't like to have to push start an IS2 on a cold morning when the battery is flat lol.😮

'Tanks in the park' is obviously a great concept

This video speaks to me. Time to play some BR5 Soviets

You needed the quick boarding perk my man. Great vid I’ve never seen one in real life but would like to visit the tank museum in bovington uk I’m sure they will have one.

Very nice. Is this from the old channel?

sad to see these rusting away, not a whole lot of IS-2M's around anymore

If u told me that was a kv-85 i wouldn’t even notice

Is there no turret basket in the IS2? I couldn't see one but it may have been removed for some reason, i love the escape hatch in the floor thats a good idea, unless you drove over an anti tank mine then it might not be so clever.

omg you are latvian!

Yeah, it's big. But I think a King Tiger is bigger. I stood beside one at the Panzertruppenschule at Muster Lager. I was 1.88 meters tall, and I couldn't see up onto the deck. Where was this filmed?? Its a real pity that the artefacts are not maintained or at least cleaned once in a while. BTW, Soviet tank crews were limited in height because of the cramped interior. I seem to recollect that they had to be under 5' 6".

Awesome Video!

it's sad they dismantled optics. i like to see frames with optic vision. would be even more excited to see what did they put into this IS-2M. 122mm rocks

Wait that’s more than -3 degrees of elevation

Least cramped soviet tank

can u tell where it is located?

T 34 85 with ridiculous small barrel caliber.

kinda sad noone cares about them they look like they need a new paint job and well reabilitated btw should try and visit the russian museum where the MAUS is located

All I want in life is a cute girl to surprise me with tanks.

Tee Hee👍👍👍

I bet that thing still works because its russian lol :D

where is this place?

it feels illegal wacthing the thing there just rusting

where was IS-2 was seen in service tho?

Is-2m

What gems.
