Vehicle Description
Modernized version of the German T-54. The modification received improved armor and a modern British 105 mm L7A3 gun. The general approach to modernization of the T-54 caused some increase in the combat weight of the vehicle, but the combination of improved firepower and protection resulted in a significant increase in the tank's combat effectiveness.
Historical Reference
The T-54D tank project was part of the FRG program to modernize foreign T-54 (T-55) tanks. With a certain increase in weight, the vehicle received protective blocks that significantly increased its anti-HEAT protection and improved protection against kinetic projectiles. It was suggested to replace the 100 mm D-10T gun with the more modern 105 mm L7A3, as the British gun was superior to the Soviet gun in both armor penetration and accuracy. Upon request, MG 3 machine guns could be mounted on the tank, and its outdated communications equipment, observation devices, and aiming units could be modernized. No prototypes were built.
