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.

In 1955, two experimental machines were created - an object 267 sp.1 with a stabilizer pointing in a vertical plane and an object 267 sp.2 with a two-plane stabilizer.

The Object 268 (Объект 268) was a prototype Soviet tank destroyer developed from 1952 to 1956 by the Kirov factory, Leningrad, on the basis of the T-10 heavy tank. [1] This tank destroyer was heavily armoured and featured a 152 mm M64 gun, derived from the 152mm M53 mounted on the SU-152G.

Mar 4, 2022 · The Object 279 is full of oddities, but two main things stand out: its flying saucer-like hull and four – yes four – tracks. These design elements are the indicators of a tank specifically built to survive not just any war, but nuclear war.

Jun 17, 2020 · The outer part of the hull and casemate are extremely strong, reaching 300 mm at points, and at certain angles can block certain HEAT shells. The tank is also pretty big, which also comes with its pros and cons. The tanks will not be able hide behind many objects, but since the gun is fairly high up, you can also shoot over objects, which is nice.

Developed alongside its sister design, the Obiekt 278, as well as the Obiekt 279 and the Obiekt 770, Obiekt 277 was a conventional heavy tank, armed with a powerful gun and was thickly armoured. All development was cancelled in 1960, as part of Nikita Khrushchev 's wish to abandon what he deemed obsolete heavy tanks, and re-focus efforts on ATGMs.

The Object 268 Version 4 (often shortened to "268 V4", and also known as "Bobject") generates a considerable amount of controversy about rapid-firing Soviet tank destroyers line by turned the whole line into slow-firing, "high" alpha Assault Tank.
