Named after the Soviet defense commissar Kliment Voroshilov, testing of the KV along with 3 multi-turreted tanks the T-35, T-100, and the SMK began in September 1939. These tanks were soon battlefield tested during the "Winter War" from December the same year. Battlefield experience revealed the SMK and T-100's poor mobility, while the KV's good performance led to its adoption as the Soviet Army's next generation heavy tank. During WWII, the KV-1 heavy tank proved to be a difficult customer to handle for the invading German Army and forced them to build stronger and heavier tanks
@kz4eva True the KV-1 was a great tank the Russians had but if Germany had gotten a couple more years they would have had the best tank on the battlefield. The Maus by the end of the war would have been the best tank but the only 2 models of it were destroyed, 1 being a wood prototype, and the other being an almost finished version w/ gun.

@kz4eva You are very wrong Germans had the King Tiger that could damage and or destroy the KV as well as the Germans were developing the Maus tank (Known to be the strongest tank in WW2 Only 2 prototypes were built). Also the Germans did not have to use any guns to destroy the KV, all they had to do was destroy the tracks and the thing was doomed then they would use a flame thrower and cook the russians out of it.
