“We launched it to the training ground - everything was perfect, we launched it into combat conditions - boom, it struck! What to do? Let's increase the armor. We increased the armor, increased the mass, we need to install a more powerful engine. To do this, we need to increase the mass again, and in a vicious circle,” he says.
The young designer knows how to break out of this circle. “We need to install weaker guns and weaker armor. Accordingly, the tank is equally strong, no matter what part you shoot at... You see, (the armor) is three-layered,” he explained to experienced engineers, who, according to the STB correspondent, were amazed at the student’s tenacity and the number of calculations he carried out.
He was helped with the development by his military father, who served in the crew of the T-64 in the so-called zone. “ATO,” says Rostislav. According to his mother, the war changed the direction in which her son would develop his scientific abilities.
