The work on the tank started in 1957, which was based on a heavy tank operational requirements developed in 1956, and a pre-production tank was completed at the end of 1959. [ 1 ] This tank boasted increased cross-country capability; it featured forty seven-track running gear mounted on two longitudinal, rectangular hollow beams, which were ...
The Kugelpanzer ("ball tank") is a one-man armoured vehicle built by Nazi Germany during World War II. The history of the vehicle is practically unknown other than the fact that at least one example was exported to the Empire of Japan and used by the Kwantung Army. The machine remains something of a mystery due to the lack of records and the ...
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.

The tank fired specially designed 3M7 Drakon missiles from a pop-up launcher. It saw a very limited service between 1968 and 1970.
Due to the complexity of simultaneous traffic control and fire management, work towards the creation of the tank was stopped. In 1952, the Object 416 passed state tests, but was not adopted. The reason was that in many respects the Object 416 was the same as the SU-100P , and in some ways it was worse, so the deployment of serial production was ...
The tank was based on the T-80's chassis, using a new turret, and was armed with an LP-83 152.4 mm smoothbore gun. A variant of the tank utilizing a rifled 152mm armament was never completed. Like most Soviet tanks, the gun offered poor depression, and the LP-83 offered a slower reload despite the presence of an autoloader. The traverse rates ...
