KV-5 (Object 225) - a canceled super-heavy tank project. Armament was to consist of a 107 mm ZiS-6 cannon in a large turret and a machine gun in a small secondary turret.
The mass was designed around 100 tons, and the tank's armor was supposed to be 150-180 mm. The development of the project began in June 1941, but was canceled due to the blockade of Leningrad, when all development work at the Kirov Plant was stopped.
The project fell out of favour, due to more advanced heavy tank designs, and no prototype was built.
