Soviet T-64 Mod 1972

     Trumpeter 1/35

Soviet T-64 Mod 1972

The T-64 was conceived in Kharkov as the next-generation main battle tank by Alexander A. Morozov, the designer of the T-54.
      A revolutionary
feature of the T-64 is the incorporation of an automatic loader for its
125-mm gun,allowing a crewmember's position to be omitted, and helping
to keep the size and weight of the tank down，and the T-64B of 1976 would
be able to fire a guided antitank missile through its gun barrel．
The T-64 would be used
only by the Soviet Army and never exported, unlike the T-54/55. It was
superior to these tanks in most qualitative terms, until the
introduction of the T-72B model in 1985. The tank equipped elite and
regular formations in Eastern Europe and elsewhere, the T-64A model
being first deployed with East Germany's Group of Soviet Forces in
Germany (GSFG) in 1976, and some time later in Hungary's Southern Group
of Forces (SFG). By 1981 the improved T-64B began to be deployed in East
Germany and later in Hungary.
