IS-6/Object 252/Object 253

The IS-6 was a Soviet heavy tank built as a breakthrough tank. The first prototype, the Object 253, overheated too much and required too much copper therefor cancelled. The second prototype was lighter weight and had more speed. The tank was not much of an improvement of the IS-4.
