A little of the history of the of the Oblect 257 / IS-7 heavy tank development by Soviet Union:
The tank was conceived as a combat vehicle with thick armor, excellent cannon and a powerful engine that allowed it to accelerate to 60 km/h. The design of the heavy tank was born of changes in the new German armored vehicles that were used on the front lines in 1943, especially Ferdinand – then called the “Tank Destroyer”.
