antonr ◊ 2005-11-24 22:20	This is "IS-3" vehicle. The mass production was started at May-1945 (prototype was built Oct-1944). 2311 IS-3 tanks were built at all. Regards, Anton http://armor.kiev.ua/Tanks/WWII/is3/

But you are right that we should use the initialisation as with all the other Soviet makers.
