TRENCH WARFARE REVISITED: ARMENIA’S INDIGENOUS REMOTE The weapon used is the PKT machine gun, a variant of the PK that was specifically designed for use as a coaxial mount in Soviet tanks and AFVs (hence its name, PK-Tank). Designed for remote firing from the onset (by means of an electric solenoid trigger), the PKT needed little modification for its new role as a remote weapon system.

At least one T-55 has also been upgraded by the addition of slat armour to the sides of the tank, once ISLAMIC STATE CAPTURES AYYASH WEAPONS DEPOTS IN LARGEST Islamic State captures Ayyash weapons depots in largest arms haul of Syrian Civil War.
