Lots of memories while viewing. I hade my drill at this machine (T-55) during my military service time in the NVA, the east german army. Later I drove the T-55T, the recovery variant equipped with a strong winch.

Awesome video, thanks Richard et al.

Wecanhelp how does using Russian tanks lead to being nazi sympathisers? The Finnish T-55M's were in use for the longest time as the actual Finnish tank corps as their actual tanks up until the 1990's, heavily modified to keep them up to date, but they can only go so far so now we have Leopard 2's, but still use the old T-55's for training purposes.

This tank is licensed made in the Czechoslovakia . City on Slovakia side name Martin. Everything in the tanks is written on Slovak language.

when i got the T-54 in WoT, immediately i knew he had something special. i wasn't mistaken. Thanks for this documentary. I am a big fan of Soviet tanks, especially T-54, T-54 Itwt, T-55, KV-1, KV-2, and the legend T-34. I am russian and i only do the Soviet tech tree Have a nice day!

I have drive one of them during military service in Yugoslav army in 1987. This video brings back a lot of memories...

The video mentions that the featured tank is of Czech build, but the markings inside it are in Slovak (except for the radio controls in Russian). The tank was built in Czechoslovakia before the states separated, but I'm not sure where exactly. Therefore, the tank was probably modernized in Slovakia after 1993, and remained in service before total decommissioning of the model in 2000. The example in the video was probably sold to a collector after 2000.

there is one mistake in 6:28 T55 was produced in Slovak republic in town Martin company Turcianske strojarne (in 1965 changed name to ZTS), not in Czech republic... in that time it was Czechoslovakia

Yet another great video about a familiar tank that we all think we know inside and out - but presented in a very businesslike fashion, and full of insight. I've enjoyed your series immensely. Here's a suggestion: Go to Sweden and make a piece on the Strv 103. A very, very interesting and unusual "tank" that never saw action but was full of promise.

FINALLY!!! I've been waiting for a video on the T-54! I'm eagerly awaiting it now, I'm almost to the T-44 but I've played it on the test server and it is bucketloads of fun.

You also forgot to mention that some countries, especially in the Eastern Europe, preffered to upgrade the T-55 a lot, rather than other tanks. Romania, for example, uses a very upgraded T-55 which performed pretty impresively on the proving grounds in Germany. This just shows how good the design of the T-55 is.

I wouldn't say he "forgot" anything. He made it clear the tank was upgraded extensively through it's history.

James Bond had the pleasure of driving a T-55 through the streets of St. Petersburg on Goldeneye.

this tank was literally the war hero for Indian army.

Great Doco on the T54-55 tank. A bit more would be nice for example a quick mention on the upgraded versions where mentioned but the most modern T55 upgrade to date is the Romanian TR-85 version which beat Americans in there Abrams tanks in a exercise in 2014.

I love that you guys make these videos, Hard to find information on these tanks that is not in text form.

Nice vid, I really like the T-55. Was really cool to see inside the tank.

Thanks for the video. It would be really cool to get hold of the T55A1 series - the one equipped with a ballistic computer, electronic sights, a laser, targets' angular velocity computer , etc.

Correction: the T-54 mod. 1951 and T-55 have an 100mm upper plate armor, not 120mm (only the mod. 1947 version)

Great series, love the interior tours. Wouldn't want to be the guy in any of these machines when someone is shooting at you for real.

Great info ,keep them coming.

there was a story.When soviets first showed T54/55 in Berlin,Americans and other people from west used to call it Star ship,because of it modern look and tehnology which was used to make that tank.Usually,the people at west berlin (including army) were scared most of time when they see this beast of a tank

top quality stuff, great to watch.

man I would love to have the money needed to collect these timeless pieces of armor. Glad to see they're restoring these massive beauties

I'm getting the t44 can't wait thanks for this game and these info videos:)

My kind of tank , excellent video .

thank you for the post

Neat, historical vid. Only thing missing is how the T-54/55 did in combat vis-a=vis various other tanks.

amazing report many thanks

T44 actually did have a bow machine gun. However, it did not have someone who's role was to operate it. It would be fired by the driver. The mg fired through a tiny hole in the upper glacis plate (you can see it just under the splashboard) and was fixed so that the only way to aim it was to turn the entire tank.

0:13 looks like The Challenger is chatting up a tank there. "Yeah I'm on this KZread channel, it's no big deal. Just a few hundred thousand viewers. That's a lovely mantlet you have."

Excellent Episode 👍😎🤝

Грация и мощ. Надо быть всегда готовый к войне, чтобы она не наступила никогда. Чтобы злоумышленникаи даже в голову не приходила мысль развязать войну. К сожаление доброта и отзывчивость, многие чаще воспринимають за слабость. Русский солдат не привык к комфорту.Но стойкости и мужество ему не отнять.

One of the best tanks ever produced. Its quality and efficiency was and are unmatched! Even if it's not a king tiger, it's another natural evolution of legendary T-34, possessing everything that made it great and thus transformed this tank into cold era duty.

The images after 11:25 as a Hungarian is a stab to the heart. I'm a man damnit but it makes me cry.

+Ombre CZ Funny, that with "your" czech writings you start with those, that are slovak ones :-))). At least gun/mg selector, aiming table and main gun itself. There are also czech ones as well as russian ones, but definitely not the ones you gave as an example. As far as I know, production factory was "ZTS Martin" and Martin is town in Slovakia. Thus video claim "czech built T-55" is entirely wrong. It's slovak built, unless he uses correct "czechoslovak built".

At 12:05 there seems to be a KV series tank without the turret. Would this have been for recon or command purposes? Or possibly salvaged? Any ideas would be appreciated. My google search yielded nothing.

8:09 So why is there a gap between those wheels? because of an escape hatch?

How was it named? I thought the number was related to the design year but it came out long before 1954.

Every time you see one of these tank running the engine is smoking like a steam locomotive. Fuel system or burning oil? What’s the story on that?

Which trigger fires the main gun on the control panel

Can you do a giveaway of model tank or more?

At 6:27 it's mistankenly said: "Czech built". It is not Czech. Either you say Czechoslovakian - as this was name of the country at the times it was built or you say "Slovakian built" - as present country where the tank was built.
