T-10 tank variant?

[Nothing XD]

Does you guy have information about this turret is 8 yet?

 

[Scott Kenny]

The upper right corner looks like it says "122mm gun" and "Tank T-10(something)"

1957 would be right for the T-10B or T-10M, and the year after T-10As came out (per wiki, but has a citation needed tag on it)

I see something in between turret is that is rammer?

I think so?

Based on the obtained test results and previously conducted studies, in 1957 the Academy of Armored Vehicles developed a loading mechanism for the T-10 tank, located in the fighting compartment. In the turret niche there were two cartridge case racks for eight cartridges each. They were located outside the shortened 400 mm barrel recoil, so the distance between them was reduced only to the point where the cartridge case could pass. In front of the cartridge case racks, two shell racks were attached to the turret: one with eight armor-piercing shells and the other with eight high-explosive fragmentation shells. All four ammunition racks were of the same type, double-row, with pneumatic motors and feeders for pushing cartridges and shells into the middle plane of the gun's oscillation. The electromechanical chain rammer was located in the turret niche and ensured the shell and cartridge case (in tandem) were loaded in one chain stroke. The electric contact copying device was mounted on the end of the gun's lifting mechanism and ensured its automatic operation when the gun was withdrawn and returned. When the gunner pressed the loading button, two of the four ammunition racks and the gun's withdrawal mechanism were simultaneously activated. After the gun was withdrawn and the cartridge case and projectile were advanced to the barrel bore axis, the rammer's electric motor was turned on, and the chain pushed the cartridge case and the projectile through it into the barrel chamber. After the breech was closed, the gun, two feeders and the rammer chain automatically returned to their original position.

The peculiarity of this project was that the cartridge ammunition racks were closer to each other than the shell racks, which allowed the rear part of the turret to be narrowed and given a more favorable shape. Rough calculations showed that by shifting the axis of the trunnions together with the gun forward by 100 mm and increasing the depth of the turret niche by 250 mm, the total ammunition of the tank (due to the exclusion of the loader) could be increased to 41 rounds. The aimed rate of fire, depending on the elevation angle, fluctuated from 4 to 11 rounds/min, the power consumption for firing the entire ammunition load was 12 A-h. Despite the fairly complete development of the project, this loading mechanism remained on paper.
