Well, they did send M55S, an upgraded T-55 to Ukraine.The long term plan is still on arming Ukraine with western made weapons. But the short term is giving the Ukrainian combloc weapons. Because that's what they are used to and because there's parts for it everywhere east of the berlin wall.
Maybe we see the Ukrainian armed with Leopard 2 next years or the years after that. But for now Ukraine have to be satisfied with what they get.
That would open the door to NATO tanks, but then it's a small number of M55 getting thru.
I was talking to one of my friends today, he was a retired Lt Col. He said the M55 uses the same guns with most NATO 80s weapons. The L7 105mm Rifled Main Gun. which would undoubtedly open the door to many older NATO weapon including M60 Patton Tanks, Centurion and Challenger 1, Leopard 1 and the M1128 Mobile Gun System. There are a lot of surplus platforms on those.
lol, like pimp my ride for those soviet tank??Yeah I know but I wrote what should be done with Soviet classics when you have the time for that.
Ukries had good projects too before the war, sadly they have the same blood-sucking-parasites as company owners like in Russia.![]()
