T-55AM-1 Main Battle Tank w/ Workable Tracks

The Russian T-55AM-1 is an upgraded version of the T-55A tank, with a long list of upgrades. The AM-1 was equipped with an upgraded engine; the “Volna” fire control system with the 1K13 sight allowing the use of anti tank guided missiles through the main gun with the help of the KDT-2 laser rangefinder; a thermal sleeve for the D-10T2S gun; an upgraded main gun stabilization system; belly and passive turret armor for increased protection; eight “Tucha” smoke grenade launchers; side skirts; and RMSh tracks like those used on the T-72. The T-55AM is considered as one of the latest T-55A variants, still serving in armies across the globe to this date.

Manned by a crew of 4, the T-55AM-1 is armed with the newer D-10T2S 100 mm main gun, a 7.62mm SGMT coaxial machine gun, and a 12.7 mm DShK heavy machine gun on the turret.
