...at this thing
http://hitechweb.forumup.sk/post-202-hitechweb.html Now, I thought I knew quite a bit about most Soviet tanks, but this thing came as a complete surprise to me. I'm not really sure if this is some kind of joke or if the guy is serious, he seems to quote some pretty reliable references, so I have to assume the thing actually existed. Apparently, the first prototype was lost when the rear turret accidently fired into the center turret completely destroying the vehicle
a bit of a "fly in the ointment" you might say

funny - all guns fired at the same time - tipping her over
probably not real - or we would have seen this in a movie or someone here would know about it - to big to forget

A Google search turns up very little on this tank - and most of what does come up is basically a repeat of the original quote.
