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. [ 2 ]

The new version of Object “ 490” by E. A. Morozov was under development in parallel with the Object “ 477”, and was also redesigned to equip with a 152 mm 2A73 cannon.

The object “490A” (research theme Rebel) had 125 mm gun of increased power installed with charges of a variable form, the placement of weapons made it possible to ensure a sufficiently high, by Soviet standards, the declension angle of the gun - 8 °.

The Obiekt 490A "Rebel" (Russian: Объект 490А Бунтарь), or Object 490A, was a Soviet experimental main battle tank developed between 1981 and 1982. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Only two prototypes were ever produced, neither of which was capable of firing due to time constraints.

The structure of the "Object 490" provided a significant increase in combat performance with a small weight and dimensions.

Tasked with the goal of creating armored vehicles that could counter NATO’s technological advancements, engineers at the Kharkiv Morozov Design Bureau worked throughout the 1980s to produce innovative main battle tank designs. One such project was known as Object 490.
