T-64BV SOVIET MEDIUM TANK Mod.1985

Description

The T-64 is a Soviet main battle tank, introduced in the early 1960s. It was a more advanced counterpart to the T-62: the T-64 served tank divisions, while the T-62 supported infantry in motor rifle divisions. Although the T-62 and the famous T-72 would see much wider use and generally more development, it was the T-64 that formed the basis of more modern Soviet tank designs such as the T-80. T-64BV features "Kontakt-1" reactive armour and "Tucha" 81-mm smoke grenade launchers on the left of the turret. (Scale : 1/35e)
