Description: "By powerful artillery fire, air strikes, and a wave of attacking tanks, we're supposed to swiftly crush the enemy." - Marshal Georgi K. Zhukov 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. These features made the T-64 expensive to build, significantly higher than previous generations of Soviet tanks. This was especially true of the power pack, which was time-consuming to build and cost twice as much as more conventional designs. Several proposals were made to improve the T-64 with new engines, but chief designer Alexander Morozov's political power in Moscow kept the design in production in spite of any concerns about price. This led to the T-72 being designed as an emergency design, only to be produced in the case of a war, but its 40% lower price led to it entering production in spite of Morozov's objections. At present the T-64 is in use in very few nations or regions, but today it is undergoing significant factory overhauls and modernization in the Ukraine. The newest, vastly upgraded and improved model of this 50-year old design, the T-64BM Bulat, has increased in weight to 45 tonnes and is seeing active service in the field. Pictured here is a 1:43 scale diecast replica of a Soviet T-64B main battle tank. #DATW04 Dimensions: Width: 3-inches Length: 8-inches Features: - Diecast construction - Rotating turret and elevating gun - Static tracks - Authentic markings and insignia Please note: We happily combine multiple sales into one order to reduce shipping charges.
