John Kettler Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 The American Heritage Museum, which belongs to the Collings Foundation, has an IS-2, which will eventually be a runner. The Collings Foundation apparently bought a substantial part of the esteemed Jacques Littlefield collection after his death. The AHM is in Stow, Massachusetts. YT has several videos, in one of which it's Track Day for the IS-2 and, of all things, a Borgward B IV Ladungsleger. The term means charge layer, a big HE charge in an armored box it would trundle up and drop off right next to a vexatious strongpoint! In this video, the IS-2 is already tracked and is being moved into the work area. The group doing a;; the work on these AFVs is Abrams Company of the United States Brotherhood Of Tanks and nothing to do with robots or internet mischief. The soundtrack, aside from a mournful Russian song, is highly distracting and many songs weird, given the subject matter. Recommend muting it, for there's no VO or live dialogue you'd miss out on.

According to the article they were astounded by just how quietly the IS-2 ran After closely watching and listening to the Saumur King Tiger, would say that it's considerably quieter, at higher speed, than the ISU-152 at slower speed. It, though, is on an IS-1 chassis, not that of an IS-2. Here is an IS-2 barely moving, even more slowly than the ISU-152 above. Am solely concerned with engine noise. To me, it's much noisier than a King Tiger. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
