САУ 2С15 "Норов" (Self-propelled artillery gun "Norov")
In the mid 70-ies of XX century, outlined new requirements for anti-tank weapons - should be mobile and able to participate in the counterattack and destroy tanks at significant distances from the firing position. Therefore, the decision of the MIC of the USSR of 17 May 1976 a group of enterprises was received project on development of light a 100-mm self-propelled antitank guns. The composition of guns should include an automatic radar fire control system. The project was code-named "Norov".
As a base to be used self-propelled howitzer 2S1. The parent company has been appointed Yurga Machine Works. For automatic radar system responded EDO Institute "Strela" Tula.
Prototypes SAU 2S15 had to manufacture the plant "Arsenal".
But the production plant did not have time to make samples for testing, so the deadline for presentation of the complex were displaced on 1981. However, by that time, prototypes were not ready. Test this complex began only in 1983. By this time, discovered the problems and shortcomings in SAU. Tests were completed in 1985. But at this time on a number of countries have adopted new models of tanks, against the frontal armor of which 100-mm artillery was ineffective. Therefore, the complex "Norov" was recognized as hopeless, and all work on this subject the decision of the MIC of the USSR of December 1985 were closed.

KGBM object 19 (wheel-tracked combat vehicle)
This draft is very unusual: wheel-tracked APC was performed in the SC of the Altai Tractor Factory and BA BTV in 1964. The car was named - Object 19. It had a traditional welded body from rolled armored plates. Undercarriage of the car was a 4x4 wheeled chassis of the formula with an auxiliary engine of Сaterpillar. Moving from the wheel drive on wheel-tracked was carried out on site or on the move for 15-20 seconds.
An armored personnel carrier project 19 was traditional for the time: driver was placed in the front left side and right side from the driver's seat was the commander, entrance through the hatches in the roof.
In the middle of the APC located combat compartment which consisted of a one-armed turret 73-mm smoothbore gun 2A28, and coaxial 7.62-mm machine gun. On top of the tower was mounted ATGM launcher 9M14M "Baby." As you can see the tower on a machine without any changes carried over from the well-known BMP-1. Infantry troops were arranged around the crew compartment. Exit the landing was carried out through the hatches on the roof of the housing. Engine-transmission compartment located behind the machine and consisted of a water-cooled engine rated at 300 hp Machine, as well as BMP-1 could swim, and moved on the water by two water cannon jet type.
PS. Why is this BTR has not been accepted into service, I not have info . Therefore, one I not can argue - correctly or not correctly been done.
On the one hand, we see a clear design complexity, compared with production of BMP-1 and BTR-60. But on the other hand, this machine could successfully replace both of the above BMP and BTR. On the ground, she could move to a mixed-wheeled crawler, and on the roads, respectively, only on wheels.

Experimental heavy tank "Object 279"
Corps cast a curved shape with a thin sheet cumulative screens that protected the hull front and sides.
Tower spherical and with thin-sheet screens. The thickness of the frontal armor hull was 269 mm, and the tower - 305 mm.
Armament consisted of a 130-mm gun M-65 and the coaxial 14.5-mm machine gun KPVT. Cannon was supplied with semi-automatic loading mechanism, a mechanized stowage for whizzbang , two-plane stabilizer arms "Thunderstorm", stereoscopic range finder TFD-2S with semi-automatic guidance system. The tank was equipped with a complete set of infrared night vision devices. Ammunition of the gun was 24 whizzbang, machine gun - out of 300 rounds of ammunition.
Powerplant tank:16-cylinder four-stroke diesel H-shaped DG-1000 950 hp at 2500 rpm or 2DG-8M 1000 hp at 2400 rpm. with horizontal cylinders.
Transmission includes a hydro transformer and a three-stage planetary gearbox.
The highlight of the tank was the chassis - four tracks propulsive, placed under the bottom of the case. On each side was a block of two tracked propulsion units, each of which consisted of six twin-not rubberized rollers and three support rollers, rear driving wheel location. Hydro pneumatic suspension.
The crew consisted of four persons, of whom three - commander, gunner and loader - located in the tower. Place the driver was in front of the center, but here there was a hatch to seat in tank.
Area armor - 11.47 m 3
The design of the chassis makes it impossible to tank sat on the bottom on land - this provides high permeability through the deep snow and swampy terrain. However, the chassis was very complex in construction and in operation and made it impossible to reduce the height of the tank.
According to the results of tests of "Object 279", held in 1959, revealed a number of serious shortcomings chassis:losing efficiency when driving on slimy ground, the complexity of repair and maintenance, production of some components and assemblies and change height for tanks. Already at that time it became clear that the "Object 279" was not destined to become a serial tank: he was the most ambitious, highly specialized and expensive of the three experienced heavy tanks and he had to give way to a Object 277 or Object 770 .

That's it! Thanks!
If you have a question or need something to that produced in my country - let me know))))
Presented at photos the half-track military Ambulance Car (design by R.N. Ulanov) BVSM-80 (БВСМ-80, быстроходная вездеходная санитарная машина) - this is a symbiosis of the truck GAZ-53 and agricultural tractors DT-75.
So in 1983 on Kurilovsky mechanical plant born BVSM-80. Test machine took place in Moscow (!) In Bitza park as Ulanov lived in Chertanovo (apparently there and shoot photo), and the Moscow region, including in the Shatura region.
Lower roller tracks (by hydraulic cylinders) fell on the ground for lifting the entire machine. Maximum speed on the highway - 90 km / h on tracks - 25 km / h, the total fuel consumption - about 100 liters / 100 km.
Unfortunately create of this truck stopped - in the country began restructuring (perestroyka, Gorbachev) and leaders of the project were removed from their positions and Ulanov received heart attack and was hospitalized. The machine has long stood in the parking lot near the waterfront Shelepihinskoy ransacked by vandals and finally put into scrap metal.

Our generals was very needed in heavy super heavy and super powerful tractors
Created new powertrain was a long and our engineers went the other way - put on the chassis MAZ-547А body diesel locomotive M62 ...
Giant wheel powered by individual induction motor, located in the hub. In the body of established hydraulic equipment. Boxes on the sides - the battery and the capacity for oil hydraulics, under the frame - fuel tanks. The exact purpose of this military machine until the hide, but presumably it could be, for example, a powerful mobile power GENERATOR to several thousand kW.
As far as I know - this facility was engaged in that delivered missile on the rocket launcher .
The essence of design - a huge clutch weight needed for implementation of the power and electric transmission, allowing use diesel engines in the most favorable conditions

I was looking at the drawings of the Zis and did anyone else notice the drive shaft configuration on that thing? Looked to go to the back axle first. Am I cross eyed or is that how it was?
Hard to say)))
Self-propelled laser complex 1K17 "Compression"
In the late 70's - early 80-ies of XX century the entire world "democratic" community dreamed under the euphoria of Hollywood's "Star Wars". At the same time behind the Iron Curtain in mode "top secrets" of the Soviet "evil empire" implement the Hollywood dreams in a reality. We created unique samples weapon: soviet astronauts flew in space, armed with laser guns "blaster", designed for battle on stations and space fighters...and on the Earth tested Soviet laser tanks.

It was a complex of new generation with automatic search and targeting on glossy object multichannel laser radiation (solid-state laser on aluminum oxide Al2O3) in which a small portion of aluminum atoms substituted by trivalent chromium, or simply - in a ruby crystal. To create a population inversion using optical pumping, ie, lighting, crystal, ruby powerful flash of light.
Rubin shaped into a cylindrical rod whose ends carefully polished and silver-plated serves as a mirror for the laser. To highlight the ruby rod used pulsed xenon discharge flash lamp, through which the discharged battery of high voltage capacitors. Flash lamp has the shape of a spiral tube,that twine around the ruby rod.
Under the action of powerful light pulse on a ruby rod creates a population inversion and thanks to the mirrors lasing is excited, the duration of which slightly less than the duration of the flash lamp pumping. Especially for the "compression" has been grown artificial crystal weighing about 30 kg
For this laser tanks required large amounts of energy. For this purpose have been established powerful generators and atomic battery-powered auxiliary power unit (APU).
