Cobi Historical Collection 2731 - KV-2 Panzer WWII, 510 terminal blocks

KV-2 Soviet heavy tank from the Second World War. It was designed and put into production between 1939 and 1941. The name KV is an abbreviation of Kliment Voroshilov, the surname of a Soviet military commander. The tank's crew consisted of 6 soldiers. The vehicle had frequent breakdowns and was very heavy and slow. However, these shortcomings were compensated for by the powerful 152 mm gun, which could destroy any enemy tank, regardless of the thickness of its armour. The KV-2 was also heavily armoured. In fact, it could only be destroyed by a direct hit from the 8.8 cm anti-aircraft gun!
