Comparing: Object 268 Version V vs. Object 268

A tank destroyer based on the Object 730 (T-10) tank. Developed in the early 1950s. The project allowed a gun to be mounted in a rotating turret, enabling all-round horizontal fire. Most ammunition was placed in the rear of the turret in order to improve crew operating conditions. The project was cancelled, because expensive and complicated modifications of many basic components were required.

Development of the Object 268 was started in the summer of 1952 at the Kirov Plant, Leningrad, under the supervision of Joseph Kotin. The vehicle was developed on the basis of the T-10 heavy tank. A prototype was manufactured in 1956. The vehicle passed trials, but never saw mass production.
