The first copy of the machine "Object 787" was embodied in metal in 1996 year in the design office of the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant. The T-72АВ tank was taken as a basis - its main weapon was dismantled, after which the tower was upgraded, on which sides the launchers of unguided missiles and 30-mm automatic cannons were located. The guns were designed for a large angle of ascent, which made it possible to destroy both ground light-armored vehicles and helicopters.

        Apparently, partly this impression is due to the presence of a tower, which it was decided to refuse at the BMPT Terminator.

          Separ DPR Today, 11:56 ↑ Apparently, this impression is partially formed due to the presence of a tower, which it was decided to refuse from the BMPT Terminator.

          ... yes, the way it is, but from this the view of the "object" became beautiful ...

      I look the Viper is not inferior to the Terminator in its arsenal and looks very protected.

    An interesting car! For the first time I hear about it. The composition of the weapons is of course rather weak. But they all started from somewhere!

    Yo Mai !! how many T-55 were in Transbaikalia in long-term storage warehouses !! But of them, with a flick of the wrist, it was possible to make vipers and snakes and other living creatures and heavy armor plates for infantry. In the same Afghan, such a technique would be a bang!

    Class! To develop camouflage under the adder, or even somewhat in relation to the terrain. You don’t actually see the viper right away in your coloring in nature, you notice when it starts to hiss or when it got hit.
