THE SOVIETS WERE QUICK TO DEVELOP VEHICLES THAT WERE ABLE TO FIGHT THE TIGER I ON AN EQUAL FOOTING BY LATE 1943, SUCH AS THE UP-GUNNED T-34/85 AND THE SELF-PROPELLED ISU-152S. BUT, ONLY THE SOVIET IS-2 SERVED AS AN EXAMPLE OF A HEAVY DESIGN THAT WAS FIELDED IN LARGE BATTLEFIELD NUMBERS. THE SOVIET DRIVE TO CUT OFF ENEMY FORCES IN EAST PRUSSIA DURING OPERATION SOLSTICE (FEBRUARY 1945) IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THIS CONFLICT.
