The Obiekt 490A "Rebel" (Russian: Объект 490А Бунтарь), or Object 490A, was a Soviet experimental main battle tank developed between 1981 and 1982.[1][2] Only two prototypes were ever produced, neither of which was capable of firing due to time constraints. Neither of the vehicles was completed before their production was ceased.
