A lot has been said about the development of the promising Kharkov tank Object 477 "Hammer" in the USSR, but all these materials are not systematized and full of contradictions.

For example, it is known that just before the collapse of the Soviet Union, two versions of this car were tested, one with a diesel two-stroke engine, the other with a gas turbine.

Earlier it was reported that the first version of the engine power was only 1200 hp, which was considered insufficient for the tank, whose mass, according to some reports, was already 57 tons.

At the second, according to Ukrainian sources, the GTD produced a little more than -1250 hp, however, as the tank-building veterans recall, a 1500-horsepower power unit developed in Leningrad was actually used there, already tested on the T-80, which gave the necessary specific power.

Thanks to this turbine and chassis from the "eighties", a car with a 152-mm gun fully corresponded to the definition of a "promising tank" and would have no equal abroad. However, the destruction of the Soviet Union put an end to this interesting direction.
