Historical description and use

The T-55 is a Soviet medium tank structurally based on the earlier T-54, but significantly modernized. Mass production in the USSR began in 1958, and later assembly was also undertaken in Poland and Czechoslovakia. Over 20,000 units were produced. The vehicle was intensively used in various conflicts – from wars in the Middle East, through the Indo-Pakistani wars, to the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan. The T-55 is a symbol of Cold War armored forces and is still present in the arsenals of many armies even today.
