Yeah, I know that tank. I rode one of those for a few days in Leszto, Slovakia. Pretty good. Except for the firing diameter and the lack of a ballistic computer.

I wanted to add that of course there is also a version of the T-55 AK and that K stands for commander. Because we had T-55 AM1 tanks in the battalion and the commander's T-55AK was still "classic" in appearance, so VOP Prešov modified a couple of these commander's tanks to the "mask" modification, i.e. just an empty laser rangefinder box was mounted above the gun and an empty SDIO was added to the turret to make it impossible to see. Because it's still true - without communication there is no command and without command there is a mess.

Of course, this is the T-55 AM2 K type, we had the T-55 AM1 K tanks redesigned by VOP 028 Prešov, so they did not have the standard additional armour and smoke grenade launchers. Otherwise they have laser cloaking over the gun and SDIO on the rear turret.
