SU - 152 " Taran " SU - 152 " Taran " ( СУ - 152 " Таран " ) was a fully enclosed Soviet tank destroyer built in 1965 , that never progressed past the experimental stage . History . In the early 1960s the Soviet military concluded that the armor - piercing ammunition used by the T - 54 and T - 55 medium tank s , and the T - 10 and T - 10M heavy tank s was unable to penetrate the frontal armor of the newest American M60 and British Chieftain main battle tanks . The Soviets therefore began parallel research on several different anti - tank weapon systems : development of new APDS and shaped charge ammunition for existing tank guns , new rifled and smoothbore tank guns with a caliber of 115 – 130 mm and anti - tank missile s among others . One of these projects became the SU - 152 " Taran " . The factory designation was Object 120 ( Объект 120 ) . In terms of firepower and mobility it surpassed all foreign tank destroyers . It was similar to the British FV 4005 Stage 2 that was developed in July 1955 and that was armed with a large 183 mm gun . The main reason SU - 152 " Taran " wasn ' t adopted was the development of effective 125 mm smoothbore tank guns and anti - tank missiles . Armament . The SU - 152 " Taran " was armed with the 152 . 4 mm M - 69 " Taran " rifled gun , with a barrel length of 9045 mm , fitted with a powerful muzzle brake . With an overall length of about 10 meters it is probably the longest gun of any type ever installed in a fully enclosed armoured fighting vehicle . The gun had a maximum direct fire range of 2050 meters . The SU - 152 " Taran " carried 22 rounds of APDS and high - explosive ammunition . The gun had a semi - automatic breech block , with a rate of fire of 3 – 5 rounds / min . The high - explosive ammunition had a 43 . 5 kg shell and a maximum charge of 10 . 7 kg . Firing the 12 . 5 kg APDS shell with a maximum charge ( 10 . 7 kg ) , which gave it a muzzle velocity of 1720 m / s , the M - 69 " Taran " had an armor penetration of 290 mm of RHA at 90° at a range of 2000 meters .
