After WWII the USSR began mass production of their T-54/55 tanks. It carried an
impressive 100mm main gun on a low silhouette with a turret designed for maximum
protection. It also has a very distinctive space between the first and second road wheels.
The T-55A version has anti-radiation capabilities plus a few minor improvements.
Production also took place in Czechoslovakia, Poland and China (model T-59) with
approximately 95,000 tanks of all variants being produced. The T-55 has been used in
over 40 countries and after almost 50 years many are still in use.
In October 1973 the Syrian Army along with the Egyptian Military launched a two-sided
attack against Israel. This invasion would become known as the “Yom Kippur War”. Syria
was well equipped with Soviet made armoured vehicles that included over 2,000 T-55
Main Battle Tanks. Syria attacked Israel through the Golan Heights and was stopped by
the up-gunned Shermans and Centurions of the IDF. The battles that took place were the
largest since 1943 at Kursk. The Israelis captured over 1,000 Syrian and Egyptian T-55s
in the 1967 and 1973 wars.
