Hey all, Wondering if anybody has any idea on if/when the Leningrad MD upgraded their T55s in their MRDs to the T-55M/AM standard. Primarily interested in the 131st MRD, 54th MRD, 111th MRD, and 77th GMRD. The 131st and 54th were Ready-Reduced Strength 1 divisions, while the 111th and 77th were Not Ready-Cadre Low Strength divisions. They also used the PT-76 as an MBT in the MRRs, so the T-55s were only found in the TR (after 1987 reduced to a battalion in these formations). Likewise, the 61st and 175th Independent Naval Infantry Brigades also had T-55s, i know the Naval Infantry championed the Drozd system in the early 80s before abandoning it for ERA. Primarily looking for 1983 timeframe. Thanks!
