Skif 231 FAVORIT T-55C2

The T-55C2 (colloquial name: Favorit) is a Czech training vehicle, designed for training tank drivers. The drive is provided by a single diesel engine with a capacity of 580 HP. The length of the vehicle is 6.2 meters with a width of 3.27 meters. The combat weight of the vehicle reaches 22.9 tons. The car does not have permanent weapons. The T-55C2 Favorit was based on the T-55A tank and was a kind of development of the T-55C1 vehicle. The main and auxiliary weapons were completely dismantled on the T-55C2. A completely new turret was also installed - much lower, lighter and, of course, without any armor. The free space in the tower was used to accommodate the driving instructor station and duplicate the vehicle controls. A different type of radio was also used in relation to the T-55A. All these changes resulted in the car's weight dropping significantly, and its speed increased to 72-75 km / h.
