Default Looking for photos of T55 snorkel

Hi,

For deep wading, T55s were fitted with snorkel (or schnorkel ). They could then cross up to 5 meters deep water obstacles.

It seems quite difficult to find good infos about these devices, I tried Google and found only few materials. Does one of you have documentations about that ? It would help me a lot.

Thanks !

Must go through a lot of snorkels that way.

Awesome ! Thanks !
Not sure you are just looking for historical references or actual RC stuff, but a few posts on this forum have some home made RC scaled T-55 snorkels I presume detailed from both Russian & Polish versions of the T-55.
