I have to mention T-55 tank from one reason, I drove this tank while serving in Serbian Army 1998. On PARTNER 2011 they presented upgrades for this tank designed in last few years.

  1. "...... On PARTNER 2011 they presented upgrades for this tank designed in last few years".
    Која је циљна група за ову модернизацију. Ми смо се наших Т-55 одрекли, коме препоручујемо ово.

  2. Веруј ми да ни мени ниије јасно, јер сам од официра који су били ту сазнао да су наше 55-ице већ почели да шаљу на сечење. Зашто раде побољшања за нешто што су почели да шаљу на отпад то знају само шефови СДПР-а. Мада по томе како су увезани са министарством, личи да раде побољшања само да би их наплатили од државе, или да би их евентуално наплатили државама које немају пара за нове тенкове а већ имају Т-55 које могу да унапреде.
