KV tank

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

KV tank

Soviet heavy tank of World War II; the initials stood for Klimenti Voroshilov, the minister of war at the time of their approval in 1940. Almost impervious to German anti-tank guns 1941-43, the KV was a serious threat, particularly after 1943 when the 76 mm gun was replaced by a more powerful 85 mm gun.
