   And that thing, Typhoon-63969, was shown as well. IIRC they are not in service and were stuck in that condition for many years.

What is that box, behind the Shtora dazzler, that seems to be welded on the upper plate of the Kontakt-5?

There is one on each side.

Box for modulators, which are needed for IR dazzlers to work properly.

   On picture small box next to IR projector/Dazzler is a modulator. I would like different location for that thing, but taking into account that on more modern T-90 versions it was dropped, it is not a big deal.

Thank you for pointing me in to the right direction! My friend said it was a GPS\GLONASS sensor.

   Object 288 with Rubin ATGMs, mid 60s IIRC. Futher development of missile tank Object 287, 288 was supposed to have gas turbine engine, layered frontal armor, generally based on Object 432 (T-64)

   Same vehicle, but with "rocket weapon"

   Frontal armor consisted of a 90-mm steel splate, two fiberglass (?) plates with a thickness of 130 mm, as well as a pair of steel parts with a thickness of 15 and 30 mm. Inside the armor was supplemented with a special spall liner. Side of the hull had a thickness of 50-56 mm max. Roof plates were 20-mm armor. 

   On test vehicle 2 GDT-350T engines were mounted (400 hp each, but because of heat managment problems power output was decreased and as a result in total ~750 hp output from 2 engines).

   Weapons considered for 288 were ATGMs - Lotos, Rubin, Astra and Garpun (don't know about it much). Lotos ,issile caliber was 160 mm, length - 1720 mm. The maximum flight speed of the rocket was 650 m/s, armor penetration - 250 mm at an angle of 60°. ATGM fire rate -1-2 shots/min. The ammunition for the Lotos ATGM consisted of 12 guided missiles. In the future, it was planned to replace the Lotos ATGM with the Rubin or Astra ATGM with 35 guided missiles carried in the vehicle. I also saw claims about Typhoon ATGM with 15 ATGMs carried be vehicle being considered.
