Object 279 build – Part 1:Introduction

The vehicle

“Object 279 was a Soviet experimental heavy tank developed at the end of 1959. This special purpose tank was intended to fight on cross country terrain, inaccessible to conventional tanks, acting as a heavy breakthrough tank, and if necessary withstanding even the shockwave of a nuclear explosion” [1].

The below film, in your actual Russian, shows the beast in action:
