Hello everyone :), the vehicle I would like to introduce today is one of the last super objects of the Soviet Union:Object 299.
- History:
In 1985, in order to install the more powerful 2A83 152mm smoothbore gun on tanks, the Kharkiv Machinery Manufacturing Plant proposed the 477/477A project with a new layout and weapon system. The further development of the 477/477A project is known as the 299 project, which innovatively adopts a “two man” layout, where one person is responsible for manipulating the tank and the other person is responsible for manipulating the artillery to strike the target. It can be seen from this that the tank has a very high level of automation in its design. The artillery is equipped with automatic loading machines, and the vehicle can be remotely driven and fired.
The chassis plan of the 299 project is designed as a universal chassis, which can include various variants such as tanks, engineering vehicles, infantry tanks, anti tank missile fighters, mine sweepers, bridge erecting vehicles, and so on.
The tank has been manufactured with a prototype chassis for testing its passability and carrying capacity.
Prototype chassis
-
The vehicle only produced a prototype chassis, and its weapon system was not integrated into its dedicated chassis for testing, and the artillery was only installed on other project tanks.The project was ultimately terminated due to the dissolution of the Soviet Union and insufficient funding. But the technology in the project was partially used in T-14 and T-15.

Protection capability:
The front is equipped with explosive reaction armor. The interior of the tank is equipped with composite armor and tilted at a large angle, making its frontal penetration resistance greater than 900mm. The side is equipped with composite armor, which has a penetration resistance of 130mm. There is also a lot of protection around the crew compartment, and the tank is also planned to be equipped with an “arena” active defense system to protect it from missile attacks.
The passenger compartment is centrally located in the vehicle body, behind the engine. There is a complete armor module for protection, and the ammunition rack has an automatic fire extinguishing device to prevent harm to members.
The top armor of the vehicle is 300mm. -
In game:
The Object 299 Tank is similar to the AGS in the game, as it is equipped with unmanned turrets and automatic loading machines. It has excellent maneuverability, excellent protection performance, and a powerful main gun, which can cause huge destructive damage to any tank in the game. Due to its performance surpassing the vast majority of tanks in the game, it is recommended to use it as a top tier tank in the future, and join the game when other countries have vehicles that can compete with it.Suggestion BR: 15.0. -
