T-55M6

Description
A quite radical upgrade for the T-55 with longer chassis with 6 road wheels each side, a 690 hp V-46-5M diesel engine and with the complete turret with automatic loader and 2A46M 125mm main gun of the T-72B. Also the protection was increased to T-80U level. Optionally the tank can be equipped with the 1A40-1 fire control system with ATGM system 9K120 "Svir" (as T-72B) or with the 1A42 and 9K119 "Refleks" systems (as T-80U). Combat weight is 43 tonnes.
Wannabe T72. A good alternative for those in need of cheap, yet effective tanks.
agree
Seems like all the extra upgrades would cost a lot though
Still cheaper than a whole new tank.
Budget T80U. It looks really cool.
