You are right, IS-3 was used in all these conflicts. But there is no conflict of the information on these tanks. These tanks were modernised in 1948 and 1959 (in 1959 2 times were modernised - differed only engines among themselves and more perfect sights, etc.) After upgrade of 1959 they are name - IS-3M.

OK, when were the IS-IIIM's taken out of service then ?

Additionally, that website you supplied says this about the IS-2M when translated

Quote:
In 1957, during major repairs tanks IP-2, a number of positive developments with a view to extending their useful life and unification of a number of units and assemblies with nodes and aggregates other more modern tanks
This would strongly suggest the moderization of the IS-II to ' M ' was done in 1957 not in 1954 as you have in your OOB ( and well beyond the 1947 we had in ours.. )
