ISU-122S Tank Destroyer No.23, Soviet Army, Poland 1944
HG7020
General Background
The ISU-122 was a Soviet WWII self-propelled gun designed mainly for an anti-tank role. Originally ISU hulls were being used to mount ML-20S 152mm gun-howitzers but the hull production quickly out paced the gun production so it was decided to mount surplus A-19 122 mm (4.8 in) guns. The A-19 was eventually with a semi-automatic breech block and the gun became the D-25S and the vehicle became the ISU-122S. The D-25S made it possible to double the rate of fire from 1.5 rounds/minute to 3 rounds.
