Object 279: The Soviet Nuclear-Era Fortress That War Thunder Got Right

Описание: 🇺🇸 In this video, we examine one of the most radical and unique Soviet heavy tanks of the Cold War — the Object 279. Built to survive the aftermath of nuclear war, it featured an elliptical spaceship-like hull, an unprecedented four-track suspension, and armor protection unmatched until the late 1980s. Armed with the powerful 130 mm M-65 rifled gun and equipped with full NBC protection, the Object 279 was designed to dominate the battlefield — but political decisions sealed its fate before it could ever enter service.

🔍 We’ll explore the origins of the Object 279, its connection to earlier experimental designs like the Object 726, and the extreme engineering choices that made it both revolutionary and impractical. We’ll also cover the proposed high-velocity gun upgrades — from the 85 mm “Strela” system to the massive 140 mm smoothbore — before diving into its in-game representation in War Thunder, where it remains one of the most historically accurate vehicles ever modeled.
