T-54/55 Main Battle Tank

The Soviet T-54 and T-55 became some of the most widely produced and exported tanks of the Cold War. Their low silhouette, 100 mm gun, and comparatively compact layout reflected Soviet design priorities, while the T-55 introduced further improvements over the earlier T-54. Numerous countries manufactured, upgraded, or modified the family. Its service extended into later conflicts, but protection, sights, engines, and weapon arrangements varied enormously. The family’s widespread export led to many national modifications; early production vehicles differed substantially from later tanks fitted with improved sights, engines, armor packages, or revised weapons. Wars in the Middle East demonstrated both the family’s widespread use and its vulnerability to newer weapons.
