 | Upgraded standard battle tank of the Soviet Army from 1955 which saw much service right into the 1980s in most second-line units of the Soviet Army and many of its allies. It weighs 36tons and have a top speed of 50km/h with a range of 300km. The 100mm gun fires an armour-piercing round which threaten even modern tanks from the sides. The armour is not proof against western tank and anti-tank weapons, but gives good protection against all other threats on the battlefield Post your comments and feedback on the T-55 here... |
