The Romanian
TM-800 medium tank is very similar to Soviet T-54/T-55. Production
of the TM-800 ended long time ago, but it is still in limited
service with Romanian army.
The TM-800
medium tank is armed with a 100-mm main gun. Gun is loaded manually.
Secondary armament consists of coaxial 7.62-mm machine gun, and roof
mounted 12.7-mm machine gun.
The main
external difference of this medium tank is that it has 6 small road
wheels rather than 5 larger on the T-54/T-55. The TM-800 is also
fitted with side skirts. Vehicle is powered by a diesel engine,
developing 830 horsepower.
Variants
TR-85 -
similar to the T-55 but with some minor changes;
TR-85N -

TR-85M1
- latest upgrade of the TR-85 with many improvements and additional
armor over frontal arc of the turret;
TR-125 -

T-72, only
few were built;
TER-800 -

TR-580 -
this is believed to have preceded the TR-85 and has a similar hull
but the six road wheels are spoked, has side skirts fitted.
