The Obiekt 292, or Object 292 (Объект 292), was an experimental tank of design bureau of the Kirov Plant (JSC Spetsmash) and scientists of the All-Russian Research Institute Transmash.
The tank was based on the T-80's chassis, using a new turret, and was armed with an LP-83 152.4 mm smoothbore gun.
The traverse rates of the barrel and turret were also lower than the regular T-80, thanks to the heavier gun.
Despite being less versatile in battle, the firepower was superior to the T-80 and other similarly-armed Soviet MBTs.
The trials showed high stability and reliability of the gun and the tank itself.
