T64B

£4.95

The T64 represented a major technical advance with it’s small size and very low profile with heavy armour. The autoloader reduced the crew to 3. A powerful smoothbore 125mm gun with sophisticated fire control, some versions were able to launch the Kobra ATGM from the gun. It was also the first soviet tank to have a powerful compact multifuel powerpack. Eventually 13,000 would be manufacturered upto 1987. With so many firsts the T64 proved expensive to manufacture and maintain, few were exported  and most were first issued to elite units facing NATO.
