The TR-85 is a Romanian main battle tank . It was based on the Soviet T-55 .
description
The Romanian Army has 154 of these armored vehicles.
An increase in combat value of the TR-85 compared to the T-55 is at least questionable. The upgraded T-55AM is believed to be more powerful than the newer versions of the TR-85. The T-55s produced in the Soviet Union are also much more reliable than the TR-85 and the T-55s produced under license in Romania.
The A308 cannon of the TR-85, a Romanian license production of the Soviet D-10T , can fire all types of ammunition intended for the 100-mm D-10T tank cannon.
