The Obiekt 279, or Object 279, (Объект 279) was a Soviet experimental heavy tank developed at the end of 1959. This special purpose tank was intended to fight on cross country terrain, inaccessible to conventional tanks, acting as a heavy breakthrough tank. It was planned as a tank of the Supreme Command Reserve. [citation needed]

The IS-2 (Russian: ИС-2, sometimes romanized as JS-2 [note 1]) is a Soviet heavy tank, the second of the IS tank series named after the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.It was developed and saw combat during World War II and saw service in other Soviet allied countries after the war.
The "Rubin" anti-tank missiles were capable of penetrating 250 mm of armor at 60° at a range of 4 km. The Obiekt 775 used the same engine and transmission from T-64 tank. The Obiekt 775T (Объект 775Т) variant used two gas turbine engines instead of the diesel engine. The prototype tank wasn't adopted for a number of reasons.
Many World War II German military vehicles, initially (starting in the late 1930s) including all vehicles originally designed to be half-tracks and all later tank designs (after the Panzer IV), had slack-track systems, usually driven by a front-located drive sprocket, the track returning along the tops of a design of overlapping and sometimes ...
Chain track drive sprocket (Leclerc battle tank, 2006) In the case of vehicles with caterpillar tracks the engine-driven toothed-wheel transmitting motion to the tracks is known as the drive sprocket and may be positioned at the front or back of the vehicle, or in some cases both. There may also be a third sprocket, elevated, driving the track.
The IS-7 heavy tank design began in Leningrad in 1945 by Nikolai Fedorovich Shashmurin [1] [2] [5] Weighing 68 tonnes, thickly armoured and armed with a 130mm S-70 long-barrelled gun, it was the largest and heaviest member of the IS family [4] and one of the most advanced heavy tank designs.

The Obiekt 490 "Poplar", or Object 490, was an experimental Soviet tank developed in the early 1980s. [1] Two versions of the vehicle existed under the same project name, however the designs were radically different, with the second being one of the most unusual designs in the history of tank development.
