The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was the among one of the most ambitious attempt at the final days of Soviet Union as the next-generation tank cannon testbed; Kirov Plant and Mobile Vehicle Engineering Institute planned to introduce the very high-caliber smoothbore cannon for Soviet MBT to disable NATO MBTs at longest possible distance, instead of the conventional 125 mm or slightly larger 130 mm which were still common calibers in Warsaw-Pact countries, engineers built the largest smoothbore tank cannon ever to present date - 152.4 mm LP-83 cannon and mounted it onto a hybrid between T-80BV and T-80U's turret. Due to the lack of funding by the last days of Soviet Union, although the cannon was proved effective during field tests, the prototype was eventually ditched with experiences would be further used on future MBT prototypes.

Object 292 is a reward for the [[wt:en/news/8709-event-call-of-the-dragon-earn-the-object-292-en|2024 Call of the Dragon event]] during [[Update "Air Superiority"]]. Players might feel deja vu when they first see the vehicle itself, although it looks like a T-80U without ERA packages, but the lack of any anti-aircraft machine gun and the much larger cannon gives its identity away. It might not have the best possible armor at its tier, but the sheer penetration and damage from this monstrous 152 mm cannon can end the service of most if not all MBTs it might ever face; be sure to make every shot counts as a missed/ineffective shot marks the death sentence of Object 292.

If players do not recall the chassis and design of Object 292, the engine sound will certain gives it away; in this case, the chassis is T-80BV without its Kontakt-1 ERA blocks while the turret is from T-80U without the Kontakt-5 ERA blocks. It can be said that Object 292 is somewhat a T-80U with T-80BV's composite armor layout (T-80U has a revised composite armor based on T-80BV's design), but the lack of Kontakt-5 also means it only has the base armor at around 550 mm KE; the turret is another story though, since it used a revised T-80U turret, it will have better protection than T-80B series thanks to the new composite armor layout with high protection; this also leads to redesign of mantle thus it has much smaller area than conventional designs, the area around the gun can go up to 500 mm KE protection, making it much harder for lower-tier tanks to penetrate the turret. Be careful for lucky shots on the mantle around the barrel as it can also lead to disablement of the turret system or sometimes quick knock-out to the turret crews.

The overall internal layout is very similar to most Warsaw-Pact/Chinese MBTs with a carousel autoloader located at the center mass of the vehicle, but instead of having the projectile laying below the propellent like the 6eTS series autoloader on T-64/80 series, the autoloader only consists of the projectile itself and the propellent is located behind the turret instead with rammer, this in turn slows the reload rate to 10 seconds per round; the three-men crew is also retained on Object 292 with identical layout to T-80 series - thus any penetrated shots up front will very likely disable the driver at the first place, then causing fatal damage to the turret crews by both the projectile and shrapnel; to make matters worse, if players decided to bring full-load at 30 rounds, there will be 14 spare propellent located exactly behind the autoloader on the chassis. It is never a good idea to turn Object 292 into a gas-turbine-driven mobile firework launcher.

To boost the tank with its larger gun, the engine is upgraded from the original Klimov GTD-1000 to the GTD-1250 used on T-80U series; thus it will have enhanced mobility than a conventional T-80BV while players still have to be careful not to over-extend since the relative-slow reverse speed for Soviet tanks still haunts Object 292.

{{main|LP-83 (152 mm)}}To engage and destroy NATO MBTs from the longest possible distance with a single shot, Soviet engineers came up with their ultimate solution: instead for opting missiles or 125 mm gun with longer barrel, they decided to opt of enlarging the caliber to 152.4 mm which is still currently the '''largest smoothbore cannon''' ''(aside from 2A83 on Object 195 with identical caliber)'' both in-game and reality. Although the installation of such a huge cannon into T-80U's turret is not a major problem and it could retain identical, relatively slow turret traverse speed for Soviet-era MBTs, the tank also replaced the 6eTS series autoloader into an unique design specifically for this very cannon, thus the reload rate was drastically decreased to 10 seconds per shot (consecutive shots without changing type of ammunition) - the firepower itself is fearsome indeed with only very few MBT can survive a shot onto their UFP, but missed shots are also likely to be the end of Object 292 as enemies could fire up to 2 shots during the 10 seconds reload.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
