About this vehicle

Developed at the Construction Bureau of Factory No. 73 in early 1953. From March 8 through March 10, 1953, the Ministry of Transport and Heavy Engineering considered the project, along with an alternate version of the tank with a more conventional configuration. However, the development was eventually discontinued.
