L’Object 770 était un prototype de char lourd soviétique conçu en 1956 par Pavel Isakov à l’usine de tracteurs de Tcheliabinsk. C’était l’un des derniers chars lourds jamais produits par l’Union soviétique et comportait de nombreuses technologies avancées telles que la suspension hydropneumatique, la transmission hydromécanique et un puissant canon M-65 de 130 mm.
L’Object 770 a été développé parallèlement à deux autres projets de chars lourds : l’Object 277 et l’Object 279. Cependant, les trois projets ont été annulés en 1960 par Nikita Khrouchtchev qui a ordonné d’arrêter la production de tous les chars lourds pesant plus de 37 tonnes. Un seul prototype de l’Object 770 a été construit et il est actuellement exposé au Kubinka Tank Museum.
