This is the second entry my tank for challenge

History :
The prospective Soviet tank "Object 490", developed at the Kharkiv Morozov Machine Building Design Bureau (KMDB), featured a 152-mm 2A73 cannon with an automatic loader with two horizontally positioned conveyor tracks, a 30-mm grenade launcher on the rear turret and two 7.62-mm TKB-666 machine guns. Along the perimeter of the tank and in the tubes between the sides of the crew compartment, 26 mortars of KAZ Shtandart were placed to defeat targets attacking from above

Since the end of the eighties, the Kharkov Design Bureau for Mechanical Engineering (KMDB) has been working on various options for promising tanks. One of the most interesting and daring developments of that time was the "Object 490". This project proposed the construction of a tank of an unusual appearance, characteristic layout and special characteristics.

In the course of research and development on the topic "490", several options for the architecture of a promising MBT were worked out - both classical and several new ones. High performance was promised by the new layout with the division of the tank into several compartments for different purposes. In this case, the body was made in the form of a horizontal wedge with an inclined roof. It was proposed to divide a single tracked propeller into two pairs of tracks.
