The development progressed well but seems to have been interrupted after the fall of the Soviet Union due to a lack of funding. Interestingly, unlike other Soviet era projects, it was revived after approximately a decade. The second development phase took place approximately between 2000 and 2008.
The most important feature of Object 195 was its unmanned turret armed with a massive automatically loaded 152mm 2A83 gun. The ammunition was not fed into the gun from a bustle, but from a carousel located below the turret. The vehicle was also armed with a 30mm 2A42 autocannon for softer targets.
The crew was completely isolated from the weapon system. The two crewmembers (reduced from the standard three of other Soviet tanks) were located in the frontal part of the vehicle, where they were protected not only by massively thick frontal armor but also by the armored capsule they sat in. This layout protected the crewmembers not only from enemy shell hits, but also from ammunition explosion or burning fuel.
开始的时候一切都很顺利,但在苏联垮台后便因资金问题而被中断。英吹似艇的是,和其它被终结的苏联遗留计划不同,195工程在进了棺材10年后死灰复燃。第二阶段的研制在2000年至2008年之间进行。
195工程最大的特点是它的无人炮塔以及自动装填的152mm 2A83巨炮。它并没有使用尾舱装弹机,而是通过炮塔下方的转盘装弹机来装填。除此之外,195工程还搭载了一门用于对付软目标的30mm 2A42机炮。
车组成员与武器系统完全分离。两名车组成员(比常规的毛式水柜还少一名)坐在车体前部,除了厚重的正面装甲外,他们还受到装甲舱室的保护。这种布局不但能挡下敌人的炮弹,还能从弹药殉爆和燃油燃烧中保护车组。
