The T-10 (also known as Object 730, IS-8, or IS-10) was a Soviet heavy tank of the Cold War, the final development of theKV and IS tank series. During development, it was called IS-8 and IS-9. It was accepted into production in 1952 as the IS-10(Iosif Stalin, Russian form of Joseph Stalin), but due to the political climate in the wake of Stalin's death in 1953, it was renamed T-10.
