Premium Vehicles | Object 120 "Taran"

After revealing their IS-3 heavy tanks in the victory parade in Berlin, Soviet leadership decided to push the development of similarly powerful vehicles. By the 60s, defeating the British Chieftain tanks and American M60 head-to-head would become a very difficult task for Soviet tanks. This event was unacceptable to Soviet leadership who urgently initiated large-scale development of all types of armaments from new ammunition for all guns to ATGMs and super powerful SPGs. The result of one of those projects was a true monster, Object 120 "Taran". It rolled out of the Ural machine building factory in 1965, with a chassis from an experimental SU-152P SPG and equipped with a 360-degree rotating turret with a powerful M69 cannon.
