| The all-steel Object 430 has a well-rounded turret; however, its multiple improvements did not increase battlefield survivability beyond that of the T-55 series it was slated to replace. Despite this, elements were borrowed for future successful prototypes. | |||||||

History
This main battle tank prototype was developed by the Soviet Union to update its existing fleet with a new line of vehicles. Developed during the 1950’s, the vehicle was a radical departure from previous Soviet designs, with a more compact engine as well as a lighter frame. While the prototype itself did not enter production, the design served as the basis for the Object 432, which inspired the creation of the T-64 in 1966.
