minus-squareComradeSaladlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-29 months agoThe ISU-152’s name in Russian quite literally includes the word tank. Casemates, SPGs, and tank destroyers are still tanks. “Самоходная установка на базе танка ИС с орудием калибра 152мм, ИСУ-152“ “IS tank based self-propelled installation with 152mm caliber gun.” Quite the mouthful. It also checks out on the definition front, “a heavy armored fighting vehicle carrying guns and moving on a continuous articulated metal track“.
