In Armored Warfare, the Object 187 model is a Tier-7 premium vehicle. It is a widely known fact that the Soviet – or, more specifically, Russian – need to update the aging T-72 resulted in a heavily modernized derivative known as Object 188, or, if you will, the T-90 Main Battle Tank. However, as was often the case with tank development, there were more programs with the same goal in mind running in parallel. Object 187 was one of those programs.



As with many late Soviet designs, the information available is rather sketchy. Development started in June 1986 at Uralvagonzavod as part of a research and development program called "Improvement of the T-72B", assigned by the Soviet Ministry of Defense on June 19 1986. Object 187 development ran practically in parallel with that of Object 188. As the program name suggests, its goal was to create a worthy T-72B replacement. Uralvagonzavod put a lot of effort into making Object 187 the next Soviet standard tank, but, in the end, the vehicle fell not to enemy guns nor did it become a victim of its own problems, but to the bane of all 1980s and early 1990s Soviet super tanks – money. The Soviet Union dissolved in December 1991 and its follow-up state, the Russian Federation, lacked the resources to continue the expensive arms race with the Americans. It was a bad time for the Russian military with a great many promising projects cancelled.



Such was the fate of Object 187 – the tank was excellent but Russia opted for a more conventional and cheaper upgrade in the form of the T-90. Four prototypes survive to this day, slowly rusting away in the vast fields surrounding the Kubinka military polygon – a sad end for these otherwise excellent machines. However, not all the lessons learned from their development were lost and some elements and solutions were used during the resurgence of Russian tank designs in the 2000s, ultimately resulting in the T-14 Armata next-generation tank.
