Removed part saying four track design is unique, it clearly isn't, for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-28_%28tank%29
What the heck is 'w'? Can someone disambiguate it? -- 71.125.61.11
Um, saying the one survivor is static isn't correct... JUST saw a video posted by Bovington showing it running/being restored.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:86:600:1590:8405:5367:708D:7CE2 ( talk) 16:49, 28 March 2022 (UTC) https://www.facebook.com/100012705390618/videos/1051475979138612/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:86:600:1590:8405:5367:708D:7CE2 ( talk) 16:51, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
Should we mention this tank's appearance in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater? The 279 appears in rows in the Groznyj Grad fortress. If the player contacts SIGINT, they recieve a history lesson on the vehicle. I think it's an important reference, as it's how I found out about this interesting tank.

Can someone please list what the production cost is for the Prototype? I get annoyed whenever production cost is left out because the production cost is a pretty important detail for the creation of something. Weedle McHairybug ( talk) 12:23, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
I suggest the article's name be changed to Object 279, to coincide with other Soviet and Russian tank project articles, such as Object 785, Object 187 and Object 292. -- Agamemnon2 ( talk) 15:02, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
If this vehicle weighed 60 tons as listed, then it hardly qualifies as a super-heavy tank - the article suggests over 75 tons as a rough benchmark. 60 tons is lighter than the conqueror tank and barely any heavier than the roughly contemporary Chieftain tank, which was an MBT/ medium tank Jellyfish dave ( talk) 14:33, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
I agree, in no way should this tank be classified as a super heavy design. It was quite average in weight compared to most tanks of the day. — Preceding

So, where are we getting 3 units from? As much as I want there to have been three built, this is the first I've heard of it.

– "Obiekt" is a more common transliteration of Объект (Russian) or Об'єкт (Ukrainian). I think WP:RUS would give either Obekt or Obyekt; WP:UKR would give Obiekt. Usage breakdown by author: OBIEKT, Steven Zaloga, Alexander Ludeke, James M. Warford, Mark A. Olinger; OBJECT, de:Richard Ogorkiewicz, Stephen Sewell (in collaborative works with Kinnear, Sewell reverts to "Obiekt;" OBYEKT: Mike Guardia.) Please note that I've included both Ukrainian ( Object 416 and Object 490) and Russian tanks in the move request. Schierbecker ( talk) 15:07, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
