T--55 "Al-Faw" – The Iraqi Enigma

It does not carry ammunition on its own and requires trucks to follow it (I may be wrong). And I doubt it can be used against tanks. It’s simply too big and bulky for such roles.

Don’t forget that it requires a stationary position or the shot won’t be accurate… I wish there’s is more documents about the Iraqi - Iranian war and 1991 war I’m still researching about documents and don’t worry I’ll not leak anything in the forum lol…

yes

The 1973 variant (M1978) carries 2 rounds on board. The 1983 variant (M1989), which Iraq didn’t operate, carries 12. I’m not sure if the domestic Iraqi variant, with the 180mm on the BLG-60 chassis could carry any ammunition on board, but even if it could, no way it’s suitable for the game.


+1 for this vehicle though, very neat
