The T-55AM-1 is a modified version of the T-55, developed by soviet engineers in the mid 80’s. Distinctive features on this model are increased hull and turret protection, an upgraded fire-control system with laser rangefinder. Also, the tank is supplied with a ‘Tucha’ smoke grenade launch system and ‘Bastion’ ATGM system, with missiles that can penetrate up to 600 mm of armor. As a result of all the improvements, the battle mass of a tank reached 41.5 tons, so a more powerful 690 hp engine was installed, allowing the maximum speed to reach 50 km/h. The main armament of this tank is 100 mm gun with a two-point stabilizer, which can fire standard shells and ATGM’s. The secondary armament consists of a 12.7 mm DShKM AA machine gun and a coaxial 7.62 mm gun.
