The KV is a Soviet heavy tank that was in service in the Red Army during World War II. KV stands for Kliment Voroshilov, a Soviet defense commissar and politician. The tank was produced from August 1939 to August 1942. It was involved in the Finnish War and the Great Patriotic War. The KV series was known for its heavy armor protection, so it was nicknamed the "Russian Colossus" by the Nazis.
