There are two tanks known as IS-3: Object 244 was an IS-2 rearmed with the long-barrelled 85 mm cannon (D-5T-85-BM) and developed by the Leningrad Kirov Plant (LKZ), which was never series-produced for service use. The IS-3 known as Object 703 is a Soviet heavy tank developed in late 1944, and began production in May 1945.
Oil tankers generally have from 8 to 12 tanks. [1] Each tank is split into two or three independent compartments by fore-and-aft bulkheads.

However, the T-10 could have been mistaken for its similar counterpart, the IS-3. Heavy tanks were withdrawn from Soviet front-line service by 1967, and entirely removed from reserve service by 1996. [14] It is estimated that some 6,000 Soviet heavy tanks were built after the end of World War II, of which 1,439 were T-10s. [15]
The L3/35 was developed from the Carden Loyd Mark VI tankette, four of which were imported from Britain in 1929. [3] The first vehicle developed by the Italians from the Carden Lloyd tankette was designated CV-29; "CV" being an abbreviation of Carro Veloce (Italian: "fast tank") and "29" as the year of adoption.
