The T-55 Al Faw, also known as Enigma, is a modernized variant of the Soviet T-55 main battle tank, developed by the Iraqi State Company for Military Industries. This tank was created in response to the need to upgrade and improve the Iraqi Army’s tank fleet. It incorporates several technological and design improvements over the original T-55 design, including enhanced protection systems, advanced communication capabilities and increased firepower.

The name “Al Faw” refers to a region in southern Iraq, while “Enigma” suggests an aura of mystery and secrecy surrounding the tank and its capabilities. This armored vehicle has been used in several conflicts in the Middle East region, including the Iran-Iraq War and the Gulf War, where it demonstrated its endurance and combat capability.
