Details of the modernization of the T-54 tanks of the army of Vietnam
As VietDefense points out, this improvement is another attempt by the Vietnamese military to give a new life to a product of the Soviet era - the previous one in the person of the T-55M3 modification was discarded by them. The designated publication revealed a number of features of the T-54M, which in the local news the tape also appears as a “modernized T-54B.”
T-54M received the fire control system TIFCS-3BU, created by the Spanish company for the development of information technology and weapons Indra Sistemas. This system provides fully automatic guidance of the gun, includes a TSGS-54BU laser rangefinder and a thermal imager. It was developed specifically for Russian tanks, such as the T-54, T-72 and others.
Thanks to the introduction of the new MSA (fire control system), the tank is equipped with a digital computer, which allows you to aim and fire at enemy vehicles while driving.
According to VietDefense, these are long-known, well-known updates, but the new iteration is different in that it received reactive [DZ] and composite armor, encircling the tower and the front of the original T-54, and also acquired a modified X-NUMX-mm D-100T gun .
