Its frontal hull armor reaches 110 mm. The tank's turret is streamlined, cast, with frontal armor of 260 mm. The vehicle has 1,450 hit points. Maximum speed—60 km/h, specific power—15 h.p./t, view range—380 m.  The tank is armed with a 122 mm gun with an average damage per shot of 420 hit points. The standard APCR shell penetrates 233 mm of armor, while the special HEAT shell penetrates 285 mm. Aiming time of the gun is 3.2 s, reload time is 15 s, and dispersion is 0.42 m.  Object 259a is a frontline heavy tank. Thanks to its good armor and relatively good maneuverability, the vehicle can occupy advantageous positions and engage in successful positional combat. Also, keep in mind that the gun's accuracy won't let you fire effectively from long range.  More pictures can be found in this link HERE.
