Comparing: Object 430 vs. T95E6

A prototype of this medium tank was developed from 1953 through 1957 to replace the T-54. Soviet authorities wanted a tank with greater nuclear survivability and firepower, so in 1961 the project was discontinued in favor of the Object 432. Several prototypes of the vehicle were manufactured.

Some military analysts deemed the experimental tanks of the T95 series to be undergunned. In order to increase the tank's firepower, a new, heavier turret, designated T96, was to be mounted on the hull. This would allow replacement of the 105-mm gun with a 120-mm gun. However, development proved unsuccessful, and the project was canceled on July 7th, 1960. Only one dummy vehicle was built.
