'''The KV-17 (Nicknamed: ''Inferno'' by ODN)''' Is a Russian Heavy Battle Tank. The tank has been produced to withstand a nuclear blast, the government has produced 1,618 KV-17's, but stopped in 2003 after the ''Mozhnov Millitary Assets'' began to upgrade the KV-17 drastically and will be releasing the KV-20 in the coming years. 
==Developement==

The KV-17 was designed in 1991 by Leonid Iseav and a few others. The project was requested upon the Brasilian government so they can have a better fighting chance in the Brasilian Civil War. Many months of hard designing from Iseav's small team of 5 people finally came up with a good design on July 8th 1991, but the government woukd refuse all requests to begin manufacturing until December 21st 1995. After 5 long years of tank designing, the first KV-17 was produced and was sent to Brasil for combat service. 

The project remained secretive because the Russian government were testing their newly designed equipment by sending them to Brasil to see if they were capable of serving as their own assets. The KV-17 was.

==Deployment==

The KV-17 was first used in combat during the Brasilian Civil War and was proved a worthy tank. As tensions grew in Africa, the KV-17 served a lot of tank divisons in Algeria, Congo and Niger.
