Historical Reference:

In the late 1950s, the Ministry of Transport Engineering reviewed a draft design for a new heavy tank with the driver positioned in the turret. The project was developed on the initiative of VNII-100 and was an evolution of the “Object 416” medium tank concept. Later, the Kirov Plant’s design bureau further refined it under the index “Object 265,” after which the new heavy tank project was submitted for approval to the Commander of the Armored and Mechanized Forces of the Soviet Army. However, despite the military’s interest in unconventional configurations, the front-mounted engine layout was not considered promising. The project was closed in favor of improving the T-10 (Object 730) tank.
