Built on the proven T-62 chassis, it replaced the conventional tank gun with a launcher for anti-tank guided missiles, reflecting a shift in armoured warfare thinking during the Cold War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough it showed strong theoretical capability, the IT-1 had limitations in battlefield flexibility and target engagement speed. These factors led to a short operational life, and it was eventually withdrawn from service after limited production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vehicle remains significant as one of the few operational missile tanks ever fielded, representing a unique stage in armoured vehicle development. This model captures its unusual turret design and distinctive Cold War engineering approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild using paint and glue.
