ISU-152BM (ИСУ-152БМ), sometimes referred to as ISU-152BM-1 or ISU-152-1, with the factory designation Object 246 (Объект 246), was a single prototype developed in April 1944 in Factory No. 100 in attempt to increase the firepower of the ISU-152. The "BM" ("БМ") in the designation stands for "High-Powered" ("Большой ...
The SU-152 (Russian: самоходная установка-152, СУ-152, romanized: Samokhodnaya Ustanovka-152) is a Soviet self-propelled heavy howitzer used during World War II. It mounted a 152 mm gun-howitzer on the chassis of a KV-1S heavy tank. Later production used an IS tank chassis and was re-designated ISU-152. [2]
The main differences between the SU-152G and the ISU-152 as well as its variants, and that between it and 2S3 made it what appeared to be a middle ground between these two self-propelled guns. The ISU-152 was intended to be a heavy assault gun from the beginning, which required capability of direct firing, and a weak transition towards firing ...

The USSR had a history of developing SPGs on the basis of existing medium and heavy tanks, such as the SU-85, SU-100 and SU-152. Following the development of the IS-3 and IS-4 heavy tanks after World War II, new SPGs were designed (and produced in the case of the Object 704) on their chassis. These had 152 mm cannons, capable of breaching ...
The front armour thickness of ISU-152 was 90-120 mm vs 60-75 mm of SU-152. Due to better equipment layout this armour improvement did not increase the overall weight of the vehicle. Both ISU-152 and SU-152 weigh near 46 metric tons. The ISU-152 was equipped with new modification of V-2 diesel engine, V-2IS.
This organization remained in place until the start of 1944 when the SU-122 began to be replaced by the SU-152, ISU-122 and ISU-152 heavy self-propelled guns, [11] and the SU-85 tank destroyers. The SU-122 proved effective in its intended role of direct fire on strongholds.
