I am curious about the obj 477a and if that has any place?

Spoiler

What is this nonsense? Obj 477 was made in Kharkiv, Ukraine in KhKBM.
In 1992-1993 the first testing vehicle was made in Ukraine. Obj 477A, Obj 477B and other prototypes are still in Ukraine and this has nothing to do with ussr or russia.

Theyre still in ukraine? Cool

  • The draft design was concluded in 1984, followed by the technical design in 1985, and the first prototype (mock-up) was constructed in 1987. Subsequently, the vehicles were handed over to Russia, where trials continued throughout the 1990s.

they arent in ukraine

New video of combat work of BTR-3E1 with Stugna ATGM.
Definitely would be a nice addition to the tree, especially if WT will manage to emulate that Stugna UI and controls at some point.

Yes. All documentation, 152mm ammo and tank prototypes were reportedly moved to a safer location in 2021, because Kharkiv tank plant locations were obviously not safe (and in 2018 there was an attempt to dispose of 152mm ammunition by former management without any reason, possibly sabotage)

You do realise that post states it was in kharkov right?
“It is known that work in Kharkov persisted for a period with funding from Russia. However, a subsequent decision was made to shift focus entirely to the Nizhny Tagil Object 195.”

You argue with another ussr fan “BuT KhArKoV wAs UsSr!”. That article clearly says that the first prototype was completed in 1992-1993 when ussr was already dissolved, but the nonsense still continues.
Funny thing is, Russia has it’s own domestic prototypes that lost competition to 477: Obj 299 and Obj 187, but as always it’s easier to claim something that they don’t invented or built.

Anyway. While tank is still secret and not at least officially presented as part of Armed Forces of Ukraine (like on parade, like it was planned back in 2010s), IMO it has no place in the game.

Didnt work on it carry on into the obj 477a1?

Also it seems a constant idea was that the prototype was kept after the fact in Klugino-Bashkirivka Ukraine

Tho there seems to be several 477 off shoots…

Someone here was talking about secrecy-It’s not clear at all what this is about and from whom is secrecy?..
477/477A-Was created in the USSR!..
477A1-Was created by order and funded by Russia!..Kharkiv acted as a Design bureau…the tank has Russian Armor and Russian Cannon/Shells/Dynamic Protection/Active Protection Complex/The Gas Turbine Engine being created for the tank/Weapon Control system/Chassis based on the chassis for the T-80…
