Russian Designed Polish Built T-55 (AMS)

[@kevinmahaney3650]

Love your work! That t55 is in really good shape!

[@MilitaryArmamentsCompany]

Thank you! Definitely one of our better runners

This sign means a special military vehicle in which the driver has a reduced field of vision, or the size of the vehicle exceeds the provisions of Polish law, or the vehicle contains dangerous items (such as ammunition). This sign is used when driving on public roads. This information is from the Polish Journal of Laws, Journal of Laws 1999.71.799 (old version). Currently, the same sign is used, but in the colors black-gray (Journal of Laws 2005.116.974).

Thank You! I will show Your comment to Scott.

Lovely Merida variant. Poland did a lot of good work modernizing the T-55 series and from all description turned out some fine versions.

[@ditzydoo4378]

4:17 mark: Track tensioning... The Chieftain would be so proud.. ^~^ So the T-55 uses a differential steering system, rather than a brake pack.

[@Gasmaskenkiller]

Yeah, I love the design of this little biest 👌❤️

[@MilitaryArmamentsCompany]

Me too! Definitely one of our better looking tanks

[@Pawbrzeg]

Hello. Your T-55 AMS does not have "ŁWD" mounts (Extended charge fired from tanks). AM"S" means sapper , T-55AMS is with my colleagues in Gniezno, Poland, fully equipped and operational. I have photos of what it looks like somewhere.

[@robertoangelocordoba1637]

great timing. great reference video too.

[@nupagadii5834]

Thank you for detailed description.

I didn't know Kimi Raikkonen was so much into polish tanks. Cheers!

[@MilitaryArmamentsCompany]

Lol he does look like him doesnt he

AS far as I remeber from my 60th Tank Regiment, Meridas in this version (AMS) was used with other tanks but had special equipment for passing the mine fields. There were no special "czołgi saperskie" - engineers tanks

[@MilitaryArmamentsCompany]

Interesting information. Thank you. Yes we do not have any proof of attachments used however we do have proof of it being in an engineering unit

[@nunopereira265]

I agree with the Soviet engine plan, it sounds more field repairable compared to a everything in one engine block

[@MilitaryArmamentsCompany]

I can agree is some aspects however some aspects of nato tanks such as engine packs makes for easier removal from the tank itself

[@zepter00]

It is nit truth. Leopard 2 Powerpack can be changed in 20 minutes. t-72 engine replacment canbe done..in two days of work.

[@MisteriosGloriosos922]

*Very interesting video!!!*

[@MilitaryArmamentsCompany]

Thanks for visiting

[@curiouscat8396]

I love this. It's so informative. I think the transverse engine also decreases the height, of the hull, coz it sits/fits in-between the torsion bars, instead of over them. Pity about it not being able to be a powerpack? And what color are the engine oil pipes?

[@yuriorlov1373]

Engine oil is unmarked

[@jayfelsberg1931]

Did Nicholas get off on the track tensioning?

[@curiouscat8396]

Which oil is the oil cooler for?

[@curiouscat8396]

I am forced to conclude it's for the engine, oil? But what about the trans/mission?axle?

[@yuriorlov1373]

The transmission oil does not reach high temperature and is super thick, also not pressurized, it's just a bath

[@LB-oz9hv]

Engine.

[@curiouscat8396]

What exactly is the oil cooler for and what color are the oil pipes/lines?

[@yuriorlov1373]

The oil cooler cools the oil

[@LB-oz9hv]

Engine oil needs a little radiator or heat exchanger to cool it, without that it would heat up causing overheating damage or even an explosion.

[@484442pt]

9:40 such sign's were introduced during the Cold War, probably in the late 1960's.

[@ndihokubwayodonatien1767]

how to find chassis number on this tank

[@MilitaryArmamentsCompany]

Its directly on the front plate on the outside of the hull

[@JimLahey21]

That branch on the light is triggering

[@MilitaryArmamentsCompany]

Lol, I mean depending on what the crew was doing in the field would determine placement, but you have to consider we like dressing up our tanks however people like to steal stuff so we have to attach stuff not necessarily the most practical locations but where we can secure it down

[@toms140]

the black triangle sign is Polish military specific, not Warsaw Pact or NATO standard. It was used during cold war and is used today.

[@curiouscat8396]

Where is its battery!? I know it's a diesel but it still needs a battery, for the electrics.

[@LB-oz9hv]

Inside the crew compartment.

[@levilastun829]

The battery is in the crew compartment, in between the driver's position and the front ammo rack

[@maciejwodarczyk5208]

good job, well done. The learning is a pending process. I was searching here for additional frontal steel plate which was made on Meridas. But the version you have is sappers/engineer version which makes the difference. I didn't know. The same model (the best version in Poland) you can see there: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6rFaGCIi5etZtE

[@Principator]

and zero about the armor or main armament upgrades

[@MilitaryArmamentsCompany]

We have an upcoming video that discusses the differences between our T-62 and this T-55. It covers some of the subject you are interested in
