T-55
Model 1958》instead of the T-54M (Obiekt 140), the T-55(Obiekt 155) was
manufactured. The T-55, although closely resembling the T-54, was in
fact a substantially redesigned tank with many internal and external
differences. Externally, the T-55 used a new turret, similar in shape
to the T-54A turret, but without the prominent roof-top ”mushroom”
ventilator dome, and as a result, two enlarged ’D’ roof panels Internal
improvements include the new V-55 engine, increase of ammunition to 43
rounds, and other features. Unlike the T-54B, the T-55 dropped the
loader’s 12.7mm DShK anti-aircraft machine gun. This version had the
initial stages of the PAZ chemical/radiation protective system. The
T-55 was accepted for service in the summer of 1957 and entered
production in the USSR on 1 January 1958. |
