Of the functions of the tank crew, organizational measures and a revision of It is very likely that in addition to automating some
Replenishment of ammunition and refueling the tank without leaving the crews ofĭeputy Chief Designer of KMDB, Head of Advanced 1 and 2, it was supposed to implement the Overcoming hard natural and artificial obstacles, passing through nuclearĬontaminated areas of the terrain, and operating under conditions of use of Creation of a special armored refuelingĪnd reloading vehicle capable of accompanying the tank in the same formation, Increase the pointing angles of the gun in the vertical plane. In addition,Ĭontrolled hydro pneumatic suspension by changing the hull angle allows to Which increases maneuverability and survivability in battle. Improving running smoothness, it allows to control the clearance of the tank, In addition to solving the main problem - increasing average speeds by Depending on the specific layout, this gives Reduce the crew to two people and place them in aĬompact, well-protected capsule. The project “490” developed in the 80s was under development by Eugenie Morozov, son of theįamous designer of tanks T-34, T-54, T-64 Alexander Morozov.Ĭommander-gunner and driver. Theĭevelopment of the tank had two main directions – conventional layout withģ-man crew and unmanned turret, which was known under designation “Object 490A”Īnd later “Object 477” and unconventional 2-man design known as “Object 490”. Was well realized by Nikolay Shomin, a new chief designer of Kharkov designīureau, who replaced Alexander Morozov after he retired in 1976. Necessity for development was grounded by theĭevelopment of next generation tank in US and NATO. Future Soviet tank in 80-s and was a continuation of works started in 1970-s
