T-64 had the most efficient running gear?  That's surprising; usually smaller road wheels usually have higher rolling resistance.

T-72 and T-80 have rollers covered in thick rubber, in case of T-80 - rubber on inner part of tracks as well, while T-64 had "naked" rollers and tracks.

Not very good photoshop - gun mantlet and muzzle reference system on top of mantlet suggest that gun was in elevated position when photo was made and somebdoy after that photoshoped gun barrel in 0 position.

Would you buy a T-64 if it were 70% off?

The engine on the Object 277 is hilariously more massive than the one on the Object 770:

 

Also the suspension is much more compact on the 770.

T-72B3. It is obvious that before modification it was T-72B, very likely to be obr 1989 or BA. Big "naked" section in frontal armor indicates that Luna was previously mounted there. And it also shows how cheap-ass this B3 modification is, they didn't even bothered to cover that "naked" part with anything, even K-1 ERA.

Also the suspension is much more compact on the 770.

 

The Object 278, the Object 277 with a gas turbine:

As can be seen the gas turbine is much more compact.
