Kust
In the second half of the 1950s, the U.S.S.R. was working to develop turretless tanks. Designers in Kharkiv were working on a vehicle named Object Kust (kust meaning "bush"), which was similar in concept to the Swedish Strv 103. For aiming, only elevation/depression of the gun was envisaged, with minimal traverse. The project did not go beyond the mockup stage.
