In 1966 the experimental Ob'yekt 288 rocket tank, powered by two aerial GTD-350 turbine engines with a combined power of 691 hp (515 kW), was first built. It used the GTD-3T turbine engine which supplied 801 hp (597 kW). At the same time in Uralvagonzavod a design team under the guidance of L. They used a GTD-3TL turbine engine which generated 700 hp (522 kW). In 1963, the Morozov Design Bureau designed the T-64 and T-64T tanks. The two tanks were considered experimental vehicles and work on them eventually ceased. The turbine engine allowed the tank to reach a maximum speed of 57.3 km/h (35.6 mph) but with only 1950 liters of fuel on board, range was a mere 300 km (190 mi). Both were hybrids of the IS-7 and the T-10 heavy tanks, powered by the GTD-1 turbine engine, weighing 53.5 tonnes and armed with the M65 130 mm tank gun. Kotin constructed two prototypes of the Ob'yekt 278 tank. Two years later a team led by the famous heavy tank designer Ż. In 1955 two prototype 1,000 hp (746 kW) turbine engine were built at the same plant under the guidance of G. The tank was never built because available turbine engines were of very poor quality. Starostienko, who worked at the Leningrad Kirov Plant (LKZ). The project to build the first Soviet turbine powered tank began in 1949. 5.1 Tanks of comparable role, performance and era.
