KV-5 (Object 225) - A cancelled project for a super-heavy tank. Armament was to be a 107 mm ZiS-6 gun in a large turret and machine-gun in a small secondary turret. Weight was projected as about 100 tons, and the tank was to have 150-180mm of armor.

The project fell out of favor from the more advanced heavy tank designs, and no prototype was built.
