　　Hello everyone,

　　as you have probably read already, the Object 430 will be most likely the top tank of the Soviet tier 10 branch (unless Evilly screwed something up and SerB will debunk this). Let’s have a look at this interesting vehicle together。

　　你们应该也都看过了，430工程将会是苏联十级分支，我们来一起围观它。

　　历史

　　Object 430 is an experimental Soviet tank. After the war, the T-54 medium tank became the standard tank for the Soviet army, but as the 50′s came and went, it became more and more clear that its original armament, maneuverability and armor configuration started lagging behind the western world trends and that the T-54′s will have more and more trouble dealing with contemporary western tanks. Therefore, several tank development programs were started with the goal of creating a vehicle, that would outperform anything it could meet on the battlefield。

　　430工程师实验型坦克，战后，T-54中型坦克变成了苏军的标配，但随着五十年代的到来和时间的推移，它作为早期武器的可操作性、装甲配置落后于西方世界潮流变得愈发明显，T-54在应对同时代的西方坦克的时候暴露出的麻烦也越来越多。因此，好几个坦克研发计划开始了，他们打算造一辆可以在战场上遇到的一切难题都可胜任的坦克。

　　In the Kharkov mechanical plant (ZIM, Factory named after V.A.Malischev – a Stalin-era politician)， a new department (KB-60M) was created specially for this purpose, it was led by the plant chief designers J.I.Baran and A.A.Morozov. In 1953, this department finished a preliminary project idea for the new tank, designated “T-64″, which was approved by the army. The project was officially started in April 1954 and recieved the designation “Object 430″. The sketches were ready by the end of 1954 and in May 1955, work began on the technical project itself. This all was finished by June 1955 and a wooden mockup was made。

　　在Kharkov机械制造厂里，为了这一目的一个新的车间被单独开辟出来，由首席设计师J.I.B和A.A.M坐镇。1953年，车间完成了初步的新坦克计划，定名为T-64，军方也批准了。项目于1954年3月正式开始，并接受了430工程的命名。草图于54年底到55年5月完成，进度转入机械方面。全部完成是在55年6月，他们弄出来一个木制的模型。
