There are a number of countries (such as Israel, Poland, Ukraine, and Czech Republic) who are raking in nice coin upgrading the T-55s of countries who cannot afford whole new tanks. The recipient can choose the upgrade package according to his needs and budget, and can range from simple passive armor plates to add-ons like ATGM or grenade launchers. New engines and transmissions are very popular.
