Film "Production of a Medium Tank" (VNIITM). The film was shot in 1974 and shows the entire production process, starting from the domina and smelting of metal and ending with testing at the proving ground and acceptance of tanks by the customer. The creation of the first domestic tank of a new generation - T-64A, became a powerful impetus not only in tank building, but also in mechanical engineering and related industries as a whole. This tank became a kind of "locomotive" for Soviet science and technology. After all, tank production is not only the work of designers, but also the achievements of engineers, technologists, workers carrying out its serial production. The T-64 tank was simple in its perfection, so its production cost the state less than even the inferior T-72, not to mention the T-80.
