De IT-1 (Russisch: Истребитель танков–1 – 'Istrebitel tankov-1', lit. 'tank destroyer-1′) was een Sovjet-rakettank uit de Koude Oorlog gebaseerd op de romp van de T-62. De tank vuurde speciaal ontworpen 3M7 Drakon-raketten af vanaf een pop-up draagraket. Het zag een zeer beperkte dienst tussen 1968 en 1970. De grote deadzone rond de tank gecreëerd door het minimale bereik van de raketten in combinatie met de beperkte hoeveelheid munitie die werd vervoerd, maakte het impopulair bij het leger. Ook de 520 kg geleidingsapparatuur die nodig was voor de raket was onpraktisch. Uiteindelijk werden de tanks omgebouwd tot bergingsvoertuigen. Er werd ook een turbine-aangedreven versie ontwikkeld, de IT-1T.

The IT-1 Missile Tank was a Soviet tank destroyer that was designed and built in the 1960s. It was based on the T-62 chassis and armed with a single 3M7 Drakon missile launcher. The IT-1 could fire anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) at a range of up to 3 km, and had a secondary machine gun for close defense. The IT-1 was intended to provide long-range fire support for tank units, and to engage enemy tanks from a safe distance. However, the IT-1 had several drawbacks that limited its effectiveness and service life. The missile launcher had a long reload time and required the tank to expose its turret to fire. The missiles were vulnerable to electronic countermeasures and had poor accuracy in bad weather conditions. The IT-1 also had a low ammunition capacity of only 15 missiles, and a high cost of maintenance and operation. The IT-1 was produced in small numbers from 1968 to 1970, and was withdrawn from service by the late 1970s. It was replaced by more conventional tank destroyers such as the SU-100P and the BMP-1.
