Objekt 279 - 10.8K Damage 8 Kills World of Tanks

Object 279 was a special-purpose tank. It was designed for operations in difficult terrain, including swampy areas, deep snow, and vertical obstacles such as boulders, tree stumps, dragon's teeth, and hedgehogs. The heavy tank's increased cross-country ability was achieved through the use of four tracks in the chassis. Attention was also paid to protection against weapons of mass destruction. The tank was armed with a 130-mm M-65 cannon with a partially mechanized ammunition rack. The tank was developed from 1955 to 1959 jointly by the design teams of the Leningrad Kirov Plant and the All-Union Scientific Research Institute-100 in Leningrad, under the supervision of L. S. Troyanov. In December 1959, the first prototype was manufactured at the Leningrad Kirov Plant, and in May 1960, it underwent factory testing, but by government decision in January 1961, all further work on the vehicle was halted. Machine specifications are subject to change without compensation. Daily World of Tanks & Mir Tankov replays from the best players worldwide. #worldoftanks #Gaming #WOT #wotreplays #EVOArmor
