A question

All who have seen James Bond Goldeneye, could tell me what tank Bond drives in "Saint Petersburg" in the pursuing scene? Is it a T-54/55 ?

 

I believe it was a T80, but I cant remember as it was a long time since I saw the film.

 

Not a T-80. The turret was too spherical, and it had wheels/bogies with holes in. My guess is T-54/55, but I couldn't say exactly.

 

As I said Its been a long time since I saw the film, but the chassis didnt seem to look like that of the T54/55!

 

These are the best pictures of the tank that I can find...

 

Strange, look at those cubes on the frontal armor of tyhe tank.

 

Could these cubes be add-on ERA's?

 

Yup, they are ERA. But it surely isn't a T-80 although it has ERA.

It looks a bit like the Polish PT-91 Twardy, IMHO.

 

The turret is definately T-55 or a derivative of it.
The blocks etc were (I am sure) simply added by the film company to make us the gullible public think "oh - T-80!"

 

mmmm Thanks alot Ricky, I guess that makes me gullible

 

Good old Reactive armor. 8)

 

Well...
