The Soviet "Beast Killer": How the SU-152 Destroyed Hitler's Tigers at Kursk

In early 1943, after the disaster at Stalingrad, the Red Army faced a terrifying problem: the new German Tiger and Panther tanks could kill Soviet armor from a mile and a half away — and the T-34 and KV-1 couldn't shoot back. The answer came in just 25 days: the SU-152, a 45-ton heavy assault gun firing 50-kilogram shells that could rip the turret off a Tiger and turn the "invincible" Ferdinand into a target. This documentary follows the "Zveroboy" (Beast Killer) and its successor, the ISU-152, from the fields of Kursk to the streets of Berlin in 1945 — its devastating firepower, its very real flaws, and how it helped break the back of the German war machine on the Eastern Front.
