Comparing: Object 416 vs. T-44-100

The development of the Object 416 started at the Construction Bureau of Factory No. 75 in the fall of 1949. The blueprint was developed by March 1950. Due to technical problems with the turret, a working prototype was not ready until April 1952. Improvements were made, and another prototype was built in the summer of 1953, but the vehicle never entered mass production.

Experimental medium tank that was developed in 1945 on the basis of the T-44 tank. Unlike the T-44 tank, the T-44-100 featured the 100 mm LB-1 gun mounted in a newly designed turret, and slat side armor. Only two vehicles were manufactured.
