Brief Historical Overview

The T-55A tank was a development of the famous T-54/T-55 series produced in the USSR since the 1950s. The T-55A version appeared in the late 1960s, introducing, among others, modern protection against weapons of mass destruction and new internal solutions. The T-55A joined the ranks of the Red Army, but was also widely exported to allied states – including the National People’s Army of the GDR. These vehicles were used during the Cold War, participated in numerous Warsaw Pact exercises, and remained in service until the early 1990s.
