In March 1931, Ing. E. Grotte submitted to UMM RKKA a proposal for a project of a superheavy tank - rather a ground battleship - with a total weight of about 1000 tons. This giant was to carry this armament in six towers - in the main tower two cannons caliber 304 mm, in the two front a total of four cannons caliber 152 mm, in the rear part were placed in three towers four cannons caliber 76.2 mm and two calibers 45 mm . The protection of the tank was to form in the front part of the armor with a thickness of 300 mm (ie as the armor of a battleship), on the sides of 250 mm and in other parts from 60 to 100 mm. There were 40 men for the operator, and several engines with a total output of 24,000 HP were to be used for propulsion. The control of the vehicle was to be a combination of hydrodynamic and electric transmissions. The vehicle was to reach speeds of up to 60 km/h.
Fortunately, no one at the DRRA Mechanization and Motorization Administration was crazy enough to recommend the project for prototype production.
