It was armed with the 152.4 mm M-69 "Taran" rifled gun, with a barrel length of 9045 mm. This is probably the longest gun of any type ever built installed on a fully enclosed [[armoured fighting vehicle]]. The gun had a direct fire range of 2050 meters, with a muzzle velocity of 1720 [[m/s]] and a maximum penetration of 290 mm [[Rolled homogeneous armour|RHA]] plate at 90° at a range of 2000 meters. The M-69 was originally envisioned as a maingun of a perspective heavy tank that never appeared. Nonetheless, some reports claim this gun would be the base for a 152.4 mm smoothbore gun intended for future tanks like [[T-95]]. |

Object 120 (Объект 120) was a Soviet experimental fully enclosed and armored tank destroyer built in 1965.[1]
It was armed with the 152.4 mm M-69 "Taran" rifled gun, with a barrel length of 9045 mm. This is probably the longest gun of any type ever built installed on a fully enclosed armoured fighting vehicle. The gun had a direct fire range of 2050 meters, with a muzzle velocity of 1720 m/s and a maximum penetration of 290 mm RHA plate at 90° at a range of 2000 meters. The M-69 was originally envisioned as a maingun of a perspective heavy tank that never appeared. Nonetheless, some reports claim this gun would be the base for a 152.4 mm smoothbore gun intended for future tanks like T-95.[2]
The Object 120 had a welded hull and a fully traversable welded turret, with a maximum armor thickness of 30 mm. It carried 22 rounds of armor-piercing and high-explosive ammunition.
In terms of firepower and mobility, Object 120 was surpassing all of the foreign similar fighting vehicles at that time.[3][4]
