T-64

The T-64 is a Soviet second-generation main battle tank introduced in the early 1960s. It was developed in the early 1960s by the Kharkov engineering bureau, the Ukrainian SSR. The tank has been in production since 1969. A revolutionary feature of the T-64 is the incorporation of an automatic loader for its 125-mm gun, allowing one crew member's position to be omitted and helping to keep the size and weight of the tank down.
