Historical Context
The T-55 tank, a significant feat of engineering, emerged during a time of intense geopolitical strife, adapting the revered T-54 design for more robust use. This low-profile beast boasted a hemispherical turret that made it least vulnerable on the battlefield, along with a formidable 100mm gun, which ensured its place among the heavy hitters of ground warfare.
