The T-64 is a Soviet tank manufactured in Kharkiv, and designed by Alexander Morozov. The tank was introduced in the early 1960s.
T-64 introduced a number of advanced features including composite armor, a compact engine and transmission, and a smoothbore 125-mm gun equipped with an autoloader to allow the crew to be reduced to three so the tank could be smaller and lighter. In spite of being armed and armored like a heavy tank, the T-64 weighed only 38 tones (42 short tons; 37 long tons). Soviet military planners considered the T-64 the first of the third-generation tanks[3] and the first main battle tank.
These features made the T-64 expensive to build, significantly more so than previous generations of Soviet tanks. This was especially true of the powerpack, which was time-consuming to build and cost twice as much as more conventional designs. Several proposals were made to improve the T-64 with new engines, but chief designer Morozov's political power in Moscow kept the design in production in spite of any concerns about price. This led to the T-72 being designed as an emergency design, only to be produced in the case of a war, but its 40% lower price led to it entering production in spite of Morozov's objections.
There are lots of similarities between T-64 and T-72. Although the reloading time while maintenance is about 20 second per each missile but in combat it takes the auto load mechanism about 6 second to be ready for fire.
Total loading time is thus ~6-13s for T-64/80 against ~7–15 of T-72.
