KV-1S – WalkAround

Den Kliment Voroshilov (KV) kampvogne var en serie sovjetiske tunge kampvogne opkaldt efter den sovjetiske forsvarskommissær og politiker Kliment Vorosjilov og brugt af Den Røde Hær under Anden Verdenskrig. KV-1S: In response to criticisms, the lighter KV-1S was developed, with thinner armour and a smaller, lower turret in order to reclaim some speed. Importantly, the KV-1S had a commander’s cupola with all-around vision blocks. It also had a sophisticated planetary transmission that significantly increased the reliability, and allowed use of more efficient regenerative geared steering, unlike the solely clutch and brake steering systems used by the Panzer III, IV and T-34. Its reduced weight allowed it to achieve a top speed of 43.3 km/h.
