First, congrats on the channel; it's refreshing to see not well-known vehicles, such as our M-55S. We would appreciate the mention that the M-55S and the video is from the Park of Military History Pivka and our channel. The tank is in our working collection, and it is a blast to drive!

Tank like any weapon is only good as its crew and the command personnel. If you give T90, Abrams or Leo2 to a poorly trained crew they would not have a lot of chances against well trained crew in this T55S.

Most modern Apfsds rounf is 3BM11 with penetrator 3BM25 "Izomer" introduced in the late seventys offering around 280mm at 2km, which is absolutely outdated nowadays. Heat is not much better, 3UBK9M provides 350mm at 2 km. Needless to say, the gun itself is outdated. It has a terrible fume extractor, is rifled and overall obsolete. And there won't occur any new ammo as there are only two other 100mm guns in active service: 1st russian 2A70, used on BMP-3 which is a low pressure gun, and 2nd MT-12, which is a smoothbore gun. Neither's ammo is interchangable with D-10T (rifled, full pre)ssure while the latter is obsolete as well. The only rays of hope are atgm like tandem shaped 9M117M1 "Arkan" providing penetration of 750mm after ERA, which is neither state of the art nor great but not that bad. But only T-55M and T-55AM received the necessary guidance equipment so you would have to add this. And a tank cannot rely on atgm solely.

Just having heavy armor in an area or situation where there is no other real heavy armor, REGARDLESS of what YOUR heavy armor is, is a big deal. Hell, having a WWII T34 against guys in trucks with machine guns is a major up to your side. Having an upgraded T55 with ERA, laser warning, and even passive NV is better than not having heavy armor at all.

Great video, could you Review the South African Olifant MK 2 some day?

Thing about all these old vehicles is if the weapons and machinery is still in working order and it's still viable from a logistical perspective then it makes sense to keep them on or upgrade them here and there as opposed to just abandoning them. I just wonder how useful all that heavy steel armour is?

This is not a bad vehicle for Ukraine by any means. 1. It has more than enough protection against small arms and even heavy machine guns. (given they don't expose the sides and rear if we talking about autocannons and stuff) 2. ERA that can stop any light AT weapon Russia has. 3. Laser tracking system. 4. Thermals? 5. Enough protection for most indirect arty hits. Pretty much heavy armored IFV with comparatively great firepower not to mention it is soviet so Ukrainian crews can be trained using it within days.

They didn't try to make it better they just had a t-55 hull and a Wolverine or Jackson turret (not exactly sure) that they somehow fitted on the t-55 hull. When you don't have anything you take whatever you can.

The gun is what makes the M-55S valuable to Ukraine. The British gun is compatible with a wide range of modern ammunition, including armor-piercing sabot rounds that can penetrate the armor of a modern T-72. More importantly, several Western companies produce 105-millimeter shells, meaning Ukraine shouldn’t struggle to maintain a steady supply of ammunition for its single M-55S battalion.

What about Vietnam's T54M?

The tank was a 'child' of Balkan wars and sanctions imposed on Slovenia, making T-55, which were inherited from EX-YU in bad state, suitable for use. Ignoring all the politicizing in Slovenia how the money has been spent it must be remembered that this project was meant to deter any sort of para-state attack on Slovenia and is a part of a larger package of arms that was bought including the towed Soltam TN90 guns and 120mm Soltam mortars. Kfir jets were also evaluated but later the decision was made for F-16 (examples that were not sold to Pakistan due to nuclear sanctions) and Cobra gunship combo, all of which were scrapped when things got back to normal in Ex-YU. . The battlefields of the 90's were at the nearest point 45 kilometers from Slovenia. The tank was mostly expected to be fighting against WW2 stock as well as T-55 of ex-JLA. It was also meant to bolster the Slovenian arms industry, directing it into 'western' weapons systems. Technical details, the armor is a Blazer, so called Super Blazer (what that should mean is unclear), all together the modernization cost around 52 million euros, for 30 tanks, with all the ammo and spare parts around 2,6 millions was spent on each tank. Most of the work was done in steel works Ravne ST. One was sold with ammunition on public auction two years ago, for the rest of 27 no buyer was found and they are in deep storage while one is meant as a museum piece. The price paid for the one sold was 820 000 euros.

Still better then Arjunk :0

Honestly, in my opinion, the Ramses II tank, a modernized T-55 is worse as it doesn't even have upgraded protection

It's the egypt main battle tank

I wonder how the Vietnamese T55M will be. They drop the Israeli T55M3 upgrade, which have almost the same configuration to this to do their own upgrade due to financial problem. They produce some ERA locally borrow the Israel ERA technology, few new electronics and still using the D-10T guns, only adding in something to improve it accuracy. Although its good for the local military industry, but i doubt it will beat anything that come from China for the last 20 years

Fresh news, 28 is donated to Ukraine.

Some of these will be sent to Ukraine. Having tanks is better than having none. It can take out T-72s. It can suppress defensive positions and it will crush infantry. It's not a great tank on its own but as a support tank it's way way better than a Humvee with a machine gun.

A true patriot should embrace such criticism, you can't fix a problem unless you know what it is and where it is. Being aware of your own strengths and weaknesses is paramount for the success of any nation, especially in war. Ignoring your own weakness goes against the core values of patriotism because it's counter productive in every way shape and form.

Coming to you from the future!!! 2022 to be exact and these tanks are now fighting in Ukraine, with Ukrainians against Russia.

Today news .. Slovenia send 28 tanks T55S to Ukraine with exchange to military trucks from Germany ..

Agree that there's a distinction between a souped-up old tank being 'bad' and a newer build tank being a different kind of 'bad. Can't really compare the two.

so I got to thinking, from what I can determine there is generally 3 types for thermal sighting for tanks. Gray-Tone (Black/White Hot as we know it from helicopter footage and so on) Green-Tone (same but just its tones of green instead of black, as we know it on the Abrams tank) Red-Tone (same but red-ish tones) my question is what are the advantages and disadvantages to the different tones? what are the reasons behind the different tones appearing on different vehicles? like IIRC the Leopard 2 has Gray-Tone while the Abrams have Green-Tone. what tanks do we know that use what tone of Thermal imagining device?

Please do one on T-72 M4CZ

Great Video. I heard that they are now beeing "sold" to Ukrain. What do you think about that? My guess: Even if it is an old Tank and not very capable it's better to have a tank than not to have one. depending on the used case they can make difference.

@WereScrib

TBH, considering the T62s present, they're...in many ways superior to those. A tank is better than no tank, and a tank with proper structure is better than none. The thing is, despite people in these comments calling these things useless, the L7 gun is more than capable of dealing with threats. I'm sure though, they'll avoid using them as 'anti tank' vehicles, and likely in an infantry support role--or very likely as trainers. Ukraine does need to continue training soldiers. More then that, a number of parts, due to soviet doctrine are usable on Ukrainian T64s. Even if they're not used as is for more than trainers--the parts that come with any sale could be used in centralized repair resources to fix road wheels, as an example.

Better than the T-62 Russia send to Ukraine. The T-55S is more comparable to the earliest versions of T-72 Also the 105mm gun designed to use NATO ammo, and can knock out most T-72 variants.

Can you do one on the Type 59 llG? It's basically an upgraded Bangladeshi Type 59 with a modern turret,a thiccer gun and better armour ,and is a possible opponent to the almighty arjun.

The tanks are, to my knowledge no longer on sale. There was some discomfort among Slovenian armed forces officers and public for selling the tanks, considering they have been upgraded not so long ago, also since Slovenia does not have that many tanks and the costs of keeping them in storage are almost nonexistent...... So as far as I know, they are stored in warehouse for foreseeable future....
