The tank being offered, T-54 Main Battle Tank (MBT) The T-54 MBT was developed as a replacement for the World War II era T-34 series of medium tanks. The first T-54 prototype was built and tested in 1946. It was armed with a powerful 100-mm gun. The first version to see service, the T-54-1 began production in 1947. Its turret had a series of undercuts all around that produced numerous shot traps. The vulnerability was rectified in 1949 with production of the T-54-2. The turret of the T-54-2 eliminated the undercuts at the front of the turret. By 1951, a third and final turret design was introduced. This turret eliminated all of the shot traps and is the classic dome shape most commonly associated with the T-54 and its immediate descendant, the T-55.

The T-54 has gone on to be produced in two other major variants. The T-54A saw the introduction of a horizontal stabilizer for the main armament, infrared night vision equipment, improved radios and a snorkel device. The follow on T-54B gave the tank both horizontal and vertical stabilization for the armament along with upgraded night vision gear.

The T-54 was built between 1946 and 1966 in the USSR, Poland and Czechoslovakia. China produced it until 1980 were it was designated the Type 59. Together with the T-55, over 90,000 of these tanks were produced, making it the most produced tank in history. Over 70 different countries in numerous wars throughout the 20th and 21st centuries have used the T-54/55. They will most likely continue to soldier on well into the mid-late 21st century.
