"Object 279" - Soviet heavy all-terrain tank, 1950s.

The tank's armor, which reached up to 305 mm, allowed it to withstand hits from 122 mm shells. The tank itself was armed with a 130 mm cannon and a 14.5mm large-caliber KPVT machine gun paired with it.

The tank moved on four tracks, and was driven by an engine with a capacity of up to 1 thousand horsepower. The ellipse-shaped tank design, combined with the design of the tracked chassis, prevented the vehicle from getting stuck while overcoming various obstacles and obstacles. At the same time, the ground pressure of this heavy cross-country tank was comparable in terms of parameters with light tanks.
