(Yes, I know this is not strictly a tank). But it was also used in offensive tasks, as a tank.

The ISU-152’s name in Russian quite literally includes the word tank. Casemates, SPGs, and tank destroyers are still tanks.
“Самоходная установка на базе танка ИС с орудием калибра 152мм, ИСУ-152“
“IS tank based self-propelled installation with 152mm caliber gun.”
Quite the mouthful.
It also checks out on the definition front, “a heavy armored fighting vehicle carrying guns and moving on a continuous articulated metal track“.
Good, thank you for pointing this out Comrade 🤝🏼
