Overview[]

The IS-4M is a Soviet heavy tank developed in the early 1950s from the IS-4.

Development[]

During the production of the IS-4, a modernized model was proposed. In 1951, ChKZ transitioned production to the IS-4M, manufacturing 25 IS-4M, and converting 217 IS-4 to IS-4M standard.

In 1958, the IS-4M was further improved by installing R-113 radios and R-120 intercoms, replacing the outdated sets.

Design[]

The IS-4M was largely identical to the IS-4, but modernized. A new transmission was fitted, and an additional exhaust was fitted. Various minor improvements to the external layout were also undertaken, such as installing side skirts. In 1958 improved radios were fitted.
