T-44M Medium Tank

The T-44 was a Soviet Medium Tank produced in 1944. Initially designed to replace the T-34, less than 2,000 T-44 were prodcued. However, the design became the basis for the post T-55/55 series of tanks. The T-44M was developed in 1961 by replacing a number of parts with those used in the T-54. These included an improved drive train, the V-54 12 cylinder 38.88 litre water cooled diesel engine, increased ammo stowage and better radios. It also had increased fuel load and an infra red night sight.
